Logitech stopped supporting their older Harmony models

Hi all,
Long time...
I haven't found any topics in this forum mentioning a recent end of online config support for quite a few models of their Harmony line of products. Happened on the 28th of May this year.
See for example, here:

This affected me as an owner of quite a few of those models, and that is directly related to JP1 subject. I must admit that I barely used those Harmonies for control itself, but rather for getting access to a vast Logitech device configs database. That usually eliminates a guesswork for figuring out protocols, device codes etc.
You just download the required config file from Logitech database into your Harmony, then use learning JP1 remote (I have few 8910s for that), let RMIR analyse the protocol and settings and - voila! - you got the JP1 upgrade.
As I have a lot of equipment coming through my hands, and most of it comes with no remote (but in many cases, you can not operate a device without its remote), that was a good and quick way to go about this.
Now, I only have one piece of Harmony remotes left (Harmony200) that still lets me access their online database. Everything else I own in the world of Harmony (about 20 pieces) has been turned pretty much into bricks as far as a future work is concerned.
Is there anyone here who does the same (above) and also got affected, like myself ? What are you planning to do now? Get a newer Harmony?
Just venting out... :-)
