Or maybe the legality of use is the reason for the status of purchase ability. Or maybe it is a combination of both. My guess (emphasis since is a guess and not fact) is that FIRST found a cheaper alternative (which is what we often ask them to do) for the kit and although many people liked the IFI panel, and they would be able to sell quite a few, the risk of not having a guaranteed 1,000+ sales made it not worth the risk.

Whatever the reason I agree that FIRST should work hard to try to get a custom fuse panel similar to the IFI fuse panel because it did work so well for FIRST teams needs.

I disagree. Having custom parts that are useful only for FRC should be something to avoid. (I do not complain about the IFI control system, because it provides a good level of safety and guaranteed compatibility with the competition field electronics.)
