Yes, keep using it. I'm not sure what you mean by "will people stop producing hexes" for it. If you have a fileset that works now then you simply need to edit in the new keys to the eeprom file yourself. There's no need to be chasing ready-made eeprom files at all. Advantage of doing it yourself is also of cours that you can determine which providers you want.
Nothing on cryptoworks?! Well aside from the inaccessible Sky videoguard package, it's the only place you'll find the Sci-Fi channel. Worth it for that alone if you ask me (but no hack yet in the public domain).
