The FLORA Accelerometer/Gyroscope/Magnetometer, Lux Sensor, and Accelerometer/Compass are all discontinued. Why?

I am also a customer. I assume (and also hope) that these products will come back in improved versions.

I believe the chips used on these sensors may have been discontinued. We have many other breakouts with equivalent functionality: they are just not round :) . See especially the STEMMA/QT sensor breakouts, which use a socket and plug connection mechanism which is more reliable than using conductive thread or the like with the Flora-style sensors.

The flora doesn't have a STEMMA QT port...

This could be handy in that case: https://www.adafruit.com/product/4398. Or you could use another one-connector JST-SH STEMMA/QT cable and solder the wires onto the Flora.
