If AMD has stopped K75 wafer starts it sure is getting phased out. Likely means that AMD is planning on only about a 3 month supply.
All I can say is that AMD had better have SocketA motherboards available and plenty of them...
There will be a lot of complaining about the KX-133 motherboards but availability of SocketA motherboards will smooth it over. As well as a Slocket.

Ted - RE: "I won't have to deal with a slocket...since I will replace my current board with a socket A."

If you go to a Socket A motherboard you will have nothing to worry about. That is, unless we begin to hear stories that Mustang is incompatible with the KZ133. ;)

"However my understanding is that the classic Athlon is being phased.

Yup.
