Those of you considering Optane 900p/905p devices for your special vdevs or SLOG devices, you might want to pick one up now before they're OOS, if this has any validity to it.
Source from Tom's Hardware; I'm still searching for the official Intel discontinuation document. Edit: Thanks to @Etorix - the bad news, in PDF format ( http://qdms.intel.com/dm/i.aspx/AF3C49EB-DCB1-4CCB-A56C-5E8379BD4B3B/PCN118037-00.pdf ) The Intel ARK site still shows consumer Optane cards as being "Launched" with no EOL date, but considering the lack of fanfare when the Optane M15 was cancelled I can believe this one.

"Intel will not provide a new large capacity Optane Memory SSD as a transition product for the client market segment. Intel will focus on the new Optane Memory H20 with Solid State Storage for the client market segment."
The Optane H20 is a hybrid Optane/QLC NAND device which will not be useful for the same purpose at the higher-performance 900p/905p, or even the smaller M.2 Optane Memory M10/800p cards as "budget SLOGs" for low-bandwidth home-lab use.
And while the new Optane P5800X packs some significantly high performance for the enterprise segment, it's likely to carry the same eye-watering price as its P4800X predecessor, making it unappealing for small shops or home users.
