I have been designing with Motorola/Freescale micros for over 40 years.
I was concerned when NXP purchased Freescale as to what was going to happen with the Kinetis line.
I have several product that use K64 and KL17 micros. Last year (2018) availability was sparse and prices were higher than expected.
Then NXP went up for sale -- and this year (2019) it appears availability is even worse and still higher than expected prices.
Has anyone else experienced this?
I have started to move all new product designs to STM32F4 micros. They are half the price of the K64 and 180mhz vs 120mhz for the K64.
Any comments welcomed.

The Kinetis line is alive and well, with more products coming. You can always check the long term availability by visiting the longevity page on nxp.com:
