Nikon scanners are they set to be discontinued?

In recent newsletters, Nikon Coolscan 9000 ED look like they are at the end of their product cycle?

Newsletters

Robert White lists the Coolscan 9000 ED as discontinued.

Grays of Westminster wrote Most Nikon Coolscans have been discontinued.

Nikon Germany lists the Coolscan IV, V, 4000 and 5000 in their archive section – they do not have any scanner listed as a current model.

Nikon Japan lists all but the Coolscan 9000 ED model as discontinued.

Nikon USA still lists the Coolscan 9000 ED as a current model.

In conclusion, he future of the Coolscan line is not clear – maybe, just like the Nikon SLR film cameras, the 9000 model will be the last version and Nikon will continue to make it in limited quantities.

I have not received a single hint about a potential new Coolscan products.
