What does "Not recommended for new designs" mean?

    To whom it may concern:
    
 
    Jewell Instruments has design in the ADXL103 into two major platform products which are being introduced this year.  When I was researching on your website today I was very much alarmed to see in the product's web page under Product Lifecycle:  Not recommended for new designs.  Is this a new product lifecycle change?  What does this mean in terms of obsolescence?  I really appreciate someone getting back to very soon.

        If I come across this I consider if my need is only current or future.
        
 
        Can I buy enough currently to cover my current production or anticipated production.
        
 
        But Mark's comment is very good:  "this product is presently manufactured on a process technology that is past its time as a "mainstream process technology,"
        
 
        Legacy production can be expensive.
