I don't think you understand how film manufacturing works. In all probability the last coating run for this film was a year ago. When it came up on the rotation for coating again, the decline in sales of this emulsion caused Kodak to decide to not coat it again. The notice that is would be discontinued by the end of the year is just based on how long it will take to sell existing stock. It is discontinued when they have no more stock to sell, not when they stopped manufacturing it. For all practical purposes the last coating was done a year ago, or more. Kodak is not producing "new" stock now, other than possibly cutting down from the last master roll and spooling into 35mm cassettes.
