IMHO, Mobi is obsolete and it's not worth the effort to support it. If people find that they need KF8, they can buy a newer Kindle and be done with the old ones.

Early K3 Keyboard models weren't updated. (Mine was; I don't know what the breakpoint was, nor do I remember when I bought it, probably in 2010.) And the DX, of course, is still being sold.
Most owners of Kindles and Fire tablets wouldn't know KF8 if it tripped them in the dark. Indeed, from what I read on the KDP forums, the same is true of most self-publishers. They hack something together in Word, upload it, scream for help, and seem content with the result.
Since I use the same epub for Amazon and all other retailers, I don't use any KF8 media calls myself, nor do I feel impoverished by the lack. Perhaps the day will come when that changes, but for me it's not yet.
