I have heard a similar rumor as well, but I didn't know the series.
It is supposed to nail down the very low-end market for the PIC, the use
that I find appealing (PIC as replacements for glue logic and very
simple tasks). It is a VERY smart move, one I will welcome, especially
if it can be made in a super-small scale (SOT23-6 etc). I have an
immediate 100K+ application for it.

In my case, even OTP would be fine, because I can always develop on a
larger 14-bit PIC device / ICD2.
