I'd agree with michaelkenward in that I'm not sure where you got your info from.

Look at the R7000. Originally manufactured in 2013 and still getting updates. (even though many have issues with them)

But, despite the arrival of the R7000P, you can still buy a new R7000. So it is not EOL.

 

How do you find the MFG Date on these things?
