This is the key point.  What possible use could there be for a 1x1

be used alongside of.  It's just not "cool" enough to warrant use in a
new set.  Can you imagine a Harry Potter or Star Wars set using this

to revive it exactly (meaning it can't sit behind a brick as the lip blocks
it) or redesign it somewhat (meaning it is stylistically compatible with the
new 1x2x2

Academically I'd vote for compatible rather than exact replacement.

(...) [snip] (...) Hi Lar, just lost a '+' for today... The none-compatible classic windows have been stopped in 1972 (at least for Europe - no idea about samsonite windows). Sets like London Bus 313 (from 1971) or train buildings 343 and 342 (late (...) (22 years ago, 21-Jun-02, to lugnet.loc.nl, lugnet.general)

(...) Hmm, I seem to have ordered a bag of white classic 1x2x2 windows from S@H a year or so ago... The thing that can be done with the 1x1x1 classic window which is real nice is to make a decent looking mullioned window. Of course those don't show (...)
