John,
I also hope that the AVR series keeps living, as it drives the world of
makers.
I live in Tucson, not far from Microchip's Chandler AZ headquarters, and
Steve Sanghi, their CEO, is a big supporter of high school robotics in
Arizona. I've spoken with him several times. I'll ask him about the
future of AVR when I see him in March at the FIRST Robotics regional.

I'm a little dubious about Microchip taking over, and it would be a shame if
they attempted to shut down the AVR line, programmers, tools, and support.
Fortunately by now, the Arduino movement has branched out, and supports a wide
variety of other CPU architectures (ARM, MSP430, LXP, the pointless Intel
efforts, and many others), so even if Microchip kills off that cash cow, I'll
have my pick of architectures to move to (these days, you can get a serious ARM
CPU in DIP format, useful for breadboarding). However, I hope they leave well
enough alone.
