So? If you "prize" these things for the reason I do, that you LOVE them,
how could it be a bad thing to have them become available again?
I value pitchforks pretty darn highly. I love the part and I wish I could
have 10,000 of them. But it would be silly of me to wish that they wouldn't
make them available again.
The only reasons I can imagine someone would want some parts to not be
available ever again is that a) they hope their rare stuff continues to
increase in value because they have hopes of selling it someday (not
necessarily a bad thing, but not worthy of excluding everyone else from
them) or b) they just plain want to have stuff they think is "special" even
if it means denying those things to lots of other people.
I know it probably won't happen, but I say produce ALL the old cool elements
that are no longer available. I'll happily buy my 10,000 pitchforks and
lots of other people can get some for themselves, and the only people who
won't benefit are the ones who won't get to sell them for $2-$10 each anymore.
