> They have discontinued nothing that had sufficient market support.

Kodak have also discontinued many fairly well supported products
because changed environmental controls made it impossible to continue
to make them without reformulating them.  They would have been
economic to continue to sell as they were, but not to support
reformulation.  Cadmium and other metals were commonly used in photo
materials, for example, but cadmium was essentially banned in the
1990s.

I admire your hope, but all the remaining B&W film using still
photographers in the world wouldn't use the amount of XX that a motion
picture maker would run through in making 2 or 3 movies; it's really
unlikely that still photographers could keep it afloat.

I'll keep buying XX anyway.
