Hello Antonio,

And the original definition of on-topic was
something like
"not sold commercially for at least 10 years"; under that

There are a whole lot of items that most would consider on-topic that
third party commercial dealers are still selling. A better definition might
be items that haven't been sold by the original equipment manufacturer
for 10 years.
