I'm not going to attempt to give you the history and status in a single posting. If you use the search feature on the website you can learn a lot. Also I'm not discounting MDP in any way. You do not need to repeat to me about them to make your point.

Not being able to get new factory keys or SKREEMs for months does not mean discontinued. Certainly for someone that needs it immediately that is no consolation. It's great there is an alternative like SOS, MDP, and others.

You said "as seen in print everywhere like Needs Wings website". Shown below is a screen capture from their website. Rob is not posting that either the keys or SKREEMS are discontinued. There is a big difference between back ordered and discontinued!
