Storevirtual 4000 End of Life Notice

Does anyone have any information on the end of life notice for the StoreVirtual 4000 line that HP recently posted?

I thought it may just be a current model refresh, but it looks like all models are shown in the EOL announcement, plus this line stood out to me:

"Customers can continue to purchase HPE StoreVirtual 4000 SKUs until they reach the obsolescence (OBSO) phase. Customers should be aware that any orders for EOL SKUs placed after the discontinuance (DISC) date will only be accepted and fulfilled based on material availability. Customers should plan their last buy activities BEFORE the DISC date of 31 July 2017 to ensure acceptance and availability. There are no new generations of HPE StoreVirtual 4000 appliance planned."

I'm hoping this is just another rebrand scenario (as the reference the OS as Lefthand OS 12.7 rather than the most recent rebrand to StoreVirtual OS).  I've not seen anyone post on this, so hoping to have my fears assuaged (as I've used these since they were Lefthand Networks... (since 2006 - SAN/iQ 6).

Appreciate any input that you have to clarify the situation.
