I would be surprised if ASUS abandon these models, I just guess they are a low priority and are having issues obtaining decent code blobs from chipset manufacturers etc.
But I do agree, the DSL-AC88U and others had there moment and owners/new customers should look elsewhere.
Not defending ASUS, but Netgear with the XR500 (DumaOS) are as poor as ASUS DSL with updates. (all a poor service really)
