From what I’ve been told “old” gray is no longer being used in production.

So, if I understood the boolean logic in that statement .... any additional production runs (due to stock depleted, or whatever) will have all new colors. Or to put another way, if you have to make another prod run of ISD’s, all the parts in the ISD will be the new shade of LtGray (lt stone gray or whatever its called). Should make for a very interesting world.

I note that most (if not all) Lego sets (boxes, buckets or tubs) have what appears to be a 4-digit production code printed or stamped somewhere on the exterior. Any chance we could be privy to the switchover point in the codes ? Might make our lives a bit easier knowing whats inside without popping open the package.
