Perhaps with te big military procurement at an end, Kodak will wash
its hands of this low-volume product in bad need of an overhaul.

After all!  There's lots of APS film to make!  I am not being
facetious.  Kodak has always catered to the most popular market
segments.  That is why there are no more Retinas, Kodak Views, 
etc.  This infrared was a specialty item only, always.  Why bother
making it, or worse, totally reengineering it to bring it up to
date for a few thousand rolls per year?

I sincerely hope that I'm wrong, much as I dislike the 35mm stuff,
But these are the sort of thoughts that will be thought in the
sales department.  "It's a drop in the bucket, so why bother"
