Well now for an obvious - and naive - line of thought, full of assumptions:

1. Ubicom probably wanted out because the SX line not cost effective for them.
2. Parallax didn't want to loose the device, least of all because of us, the loyal SX fan base.
3. Ubicom wouldn't mind money.
4. Why can't the dies be licensed (by Parallax from Ubicom) and Parallax contract a different fab shop/ foundary to make them?

Would this make the chips cost so much as to be untenable?

@Mike Green - thanks for clarifying - I should have read the PDF before posting - it and your reply made it make sense. 
RE: the SX versus Propeller footprint on BS boards - I just put an SX-48 48BD on top of a Prop 44QFN   the Prop isn't really much bigger sans the legs. Do you think it would fit the Stamp form factor ? (I don't have any handy)
