Default transission to 2.4 Ghz

Hi,
Sorry to ask something that may have been asked already, but I've been away from this stuff for so long.

From searching on this, I found that you can mix digital and analog servos on any 2.4 Ghz RX. So if I were to buy a new generation radio, I could still use my old servos regardless of which TX I buy. Is that correct or are there exceptions?

The question I haven't found answers to is, are the radio manufacturers already starting to halt production of the old 72/35 Mhz PPM/PCM radios? Are the ones still in stock like the last ones out there?

The thing is that I'll need a new radio "sometime soon", but I'd like to continue with my old one for a while. And I don't mind buying a well-featured old generation radio IF the price is better than a 2.4 Ghz (I will not be flying big planes or doing intense 3D, etc). So I'm wondering if I wait several months before getting the new radio, am I likely to find that there are no more old generation radios by then?

Again sorry for perhaps asking what is to you guys an old question. I need to get up to speed on this and I didn't find all the answers through my searching. I'm wondering if I should be buying a radio sooner if I want the option of the old kind.

Thanks.... hopefully some else who's also been under a rock for a few years will benefit from these questions also
