Floquil/Polyscale going away?

Anyone able to comment on the possible disappearance of Floquil and Polyscale paints? There's a thread on the Model Railroad Hobbyist website that says some folks have apparently been getting emails that Testors is dropping the lines.

    Well if testors is truly discontinuing Floquil and Polly it will be no big deal. Craft store paint and powdered chalk will fill about 90% of the void. I have been fazing out Floquil over the last few years anyhow. The only void will be metallic colors and there are several good alternatives including testors brand and a few smaller brands like Reaper.

    Vallejo Paints are great.

    A good place to go online to familiarize yourself with a lot of what's available in specialty materials is Michigan Toy Soldier: http://www.michtoy.com/Types-Paint_Glues_and_Finishing_Supplies.html Check out Alclad for metallics (though I've never tried them for compatibility with Brett's resin castings); also look at AK Interactive, MIG, etc. I don't think, however, they carry Model Master.
