I really do not think that we will see those legacy inputs vanish - it makes sense to reduce the number of them, but not to eliminate them outright...
Gonk is probably right. But the way the 990 is set up with the ability to assign digital and still have composite/analog affords great flexiblity. It's nice to have this for all inputs.
OTOH if mfrs were to eliminate many there is still a work-around by "outboarding" with a legacy-type switcher such as this one:
..which I do use for some things. So as long as we have something to I/O to and from we'll (I'll) be ok. Also patchbays, but as discussed in previous posts not for everybody. And...gotta have an understanding wife.
