This is kinda true.

But the flip side is most of them tell you ahead of time whether something is recommended for new designs, and how long they will guarantee production for.

Which is much more important.

In this day and age with FPGA companies being merged and spun out left and right, i doubt anyone relies on the future line announcements this second.

In more normal times I agree you want to know if you are going down a dead end path.
