The article claims Pentax has canceled the 645 digital and the interchangeable lens programs. They'll continue to sell MF film bodies. Too bad, as the digital looked promising and there is room in the market alongside Mamiya, but I would guess the potential order numbers are not very attractive.

Maybe they'll focus on a 35mm FF body.
