Has ALL of the 220 film been discontinued?

I just heard this today. Do I need to stock up on it before it goes "bye bye" forever? All helpful answers appreciated greatly!!!

Update:

Thanks "Ace" - I think you rock! I guess it will be available for a while but as a guy getting into medium format film photography this is a bit disheartening. Looks like I might have to buy a freezer and "bite the bullet" on getting as much 220 as I can. I'm wondering if/when 120 will have the same thing happen.

Update 2:

As of right now I don't have any 220 backs. Looks like I will avoid buying them, will use up my 220 rolls in a Yashica MAT 124G or something like that.

    I've had a search online, but the only placewith 220 film on sale seems to be eBay. If you look at the film on offer there, you will see some is still OK (use by dates in 2013) while others expired back in 2010.

    I went to the web sites of the the brands being sold on eBay: Kodak and Fuji. Neither have 220 film listed in their current product range.
