obsolescence EP1C3T144I7 ?

I'm designing a new board and my customer want to use an EP1C3T144I7 (because this kind of component is already use in other applications). Can you confirm the availability of the EP1C3T144I7 ...

The EP1C3T144I7 is still available.. Just verified on www.arrownac.com. That they have at least some in stock. (Leaded version) But I would be iffy on new designs for this family, especially since you can get an EP4CE6 for the same price.. and have 2x the LE's.

I don't know how long Altera keeps their family's active, but as they are probably getting close to end of life, especially since the lead time is saying 20 weeks for this family and 12 weeks for the newer families..
