They are not discontinued and are still supported. 

You can take part in the new Beta firmware for the mixers if you wish.

These devices are not discontinued as far as I know. You can always check via the discontinued products list on the preSonus website.

It is suspicious - while they are not on the discontinued product list, and the website still features them with no mention of end of life - the price drop to $999 everywhere and now Sweetwater listing it (at the same price) as a "Closeout" sale sure seems to say that the channel will be drained of stock soon.

I'm surprised there is no official response for this. It appears that all of the major retailers have posted on their RM webpages that the related products are discontinued or no longer available.

The product cycle is definitely at an end.  The RM mixers and subsequent CS18ai was set to be one of the most brilliant live mixing systems ever.  It seems like when they hit this road block (https://forums.presonus.com/viewtopic.php?f=222&t=23012) on the AVB side of things, they just ceased development on all things RM/CS18 and concentrated on the Series III.  Which is extremely frustrating for all of us who invested in the RM system.  I thought the LEAST they could do would be to continue to develop the CS18 as it still has great potential.  But it seems to be for not.  The real "least they can do" is literally nothing, and ostracize faithful users who have supported their products for years.
