Newest word on the street is that the 1xx Opterons aren't being discontinued, they are being transitioned to socket M2, while the rest of the opteron line goes to the new socket F.

AMD denies everything? (link)

“Socket 939 AMD Opteron 100 Series processors are in production. AMD will continue to produce Opteron 100 Series processors with ECC unbuffered memory support in 2006, and we will adjust production volumes as needed to supply our server and workstation customers,” said Brett Jacobs, a spokesman for AMD.

I don't think their stopping of production was ever in question. It was their distributing of the CPU's as standalone individual units (not paired with server or hardware) that was in question. Amd has still not address that piece.
