That is the beauty of using PICs.
By the way, I remember that Microchip does EOL some other parts
(non-MCU). I heard one digital poti got EOLed last time. But it
is very rare even for non-MCU product. Not like some other
vendors.

I think the learning curve from 16C84 to 16F628A is not that difficult.
So the OP can use it.
