I think you hit the nail on the head. It's the times we live in. Somebody figured out its costs to support the older stuff and made a calculation it's not worth it.
While the official policy at Smith may be lifetime to the original owner, the out for Smith is they won't have the parts or expertise to do the work.
I apologize I'm just venting a little. I'm a long time Smith customer and maybe I'm more disappointed in them than anything else.
I am not specifically referring to the original posters case as it's hard to tell what actually happened there.
