STM32F030C8 Longevity Support

Hello! We have been told that the STM32F030C8 is going to be discontinued. We have several product lines using this MCU. On the ST website this MCU is listed under the 10-year longevity commitment. How do we enroll in this commitment? What does this mean? Would you allows us to do a lifetime buy of these MCUs? Is there a direct replacement for this part that you recommend that would have the least impact on FW development? Thank you!

"we have been told" is quite generic. What was the source?

https://www.st.com/content/st_com/en/about/quality-and-reliability/product-longevity.html#10-year-longevity&section=FM141-10-year tells different.

The part is listed under the 10-year longevity commitment. So we are trying to figure what does this mean. Will the factory keep manufacturing these under some special order process?

We got the news from the supplier of this IC last night. They said that this IC won't be produced by the original factory any longer.

ST Micro, or some others randomly involved in the supply chain?

ST moves parts to different fabs, or test/packaging sites, would suggest going directly to the ST Sales Office covering your account. They should be able to provide forward looking information about supply and manufacturing.

Maybe the packaging or testing factory will change, I doubt that the chip is abandonded.
