No.

There may be several mixes that would work OK in that, although old vm
curves for the PC are all I ever wrote for it.

I don't think MIS will totally stop selling any of the inks as long as there
is reasonable demand.  It will probably be in the "legacy" category.

I would think that it would be easy for MIS to make the UT-FSE inks in bulk.
It's the carts that I suspect might more likely be dropped at some point.

If the 1280 carts fit the 2000P, it might be interesting to see what the UT2
inks look like in it.
