Are you sure 328p is obsolete ? 328PB is not pin compatible and can't replace 328P

From what I have seen, on pro mini, two pads need to be removed and you can solder PB right onto it again. Also have read, that the same HEX file from P work on PB. It seems that some clones from China can come with PB version

No worries Luka, it's alive and well, still very much in active production status ;)
