Give me the worst case scenario for this worry. If you buy a Gus Boots Willsen today and are sincerely worried about specific components, you should buy a couple extra of those specific components. What are they? The only ones I can envision are wide enough rim brake rims in 584. Buy three extra rims if you are really that worried. Have you ever had to discard a bike because you could no longer buy a critical part for it? There are certainly components that have become obsolete, but none of them have resulted in throwing away a frame. Least of all Rivendell Bicycle Works has never made a frameset that is now obsolete due to their inability to source parts. You are free to worry over whatever you want to worry over, obviously, but I think this particular worry is manageable, unless your worry about components is code for "I don't want to buy that bicycle".
