It is my understanding that Kodachrome has been put to rest not just because 
demand has been reduced to nearly nothing, but because Kodak has decided to 
cease production of the chemicals necessary to process the film.  The few 
remaining processing facilities were willing to provide service but could not 
do so without the necessary chemicals.

Who among us would set aside their digital camera and return to film?

  For all you old cave photographers out there: According to the NYT,  
  the last Kodachrome processing machine in the world was shut down for  
  good yesterday.
