Well, there are two dictionary meanings for "obsolete" that you
could cite

1. No longer in use, discarded

2. Out-of-date, old-fashioned

1. doesn't apply to the F84. It's in production and well-used

2. is subjective and, if you consider 1. as true, then it doesn't
apply either really

"obsolescence" doesn't fit either - there is no sign of the F84
being on its way out. In fact the F628 is ahead in the queue to
the guillotine than the F84

I think this simply comes down to personal opinion which, at
the end of the day, the F84s and Microchip couldn't give a
rat's a** about. They're still a good earner
