Help! My CPLD has been obsoleted

[Altera_Forum]

Altera recently obsoleted the CPLD my company's been shipping for an old product. It's a 5V part. I'm past the LTB date. Any clues how I can avoid this in the future, and where I might find some of these devices in the interim?

You can also find information on product change or obsolete here: http://www.altera.com/literature/lit-pcn.jsp

You can also enter a full part number (e.g. EP610IDC-15) into the search box at www.altera.com and you will get the status of the device and any relavent PCN or PDN literature associated with it.

Oh hey! That part number search on altera.com is a pretty cool feature! Thanks
