I would be surprised if a cartridge being discontinued would kill an open source project like this. They could switch to a different cartridge.

I'd assume they're doing the one for now because it's cheap-ish and has widespread availability. There's little reason not to expand to other cartridges once the rest of the printer is more stable.
