Fujifilm X100: discontinued

I just came across this notice on respectable Australian camera shop:







It is somewhat surprised because the limited black edition of Fuji X100 is not marked as discontinued. Maybe just typo...

Even for that price the camera is a bargain considering the quality of the lens and the hybrid viewfinder. As a "grey import" the X100 can be found for about $750 (in Kogan). The lenses for the X mount are priced in this range, and none of the three available primes are compact. On top of it Fuji X100 does not have problems with regular patterns and color bleeding of X-trans sensor. Heck, Fuji X10 is still priced at about $600 in major camera shops in Australia.

If it is true, does it mean that Fujifilm will stop the X100 model line? Hopefully the company will change the sensor, hybrid viewfinder (increase the refresh rate), improve the body, update the electronics and release it as the X200.
