I'd agree that this probably does officially mean the end of new 2-strokes...but I'm not sure how much it matters. To the best of my knowledge there hasn't been a new 2-stroke car made in many, many years. Same with motorcycles -- the market has been in 4-strokes for a long time. 2-stroke outboards have mostly been banned for quite a while due to regulations prohibiting oil blow-by in the water, etc. So I guess I'm not sure what dire consequences you're predicting. :)
Actually, I should clarify -- it means the end of new 2-stroke gas engines. 2-stroke diesels don't have most of the problems you mention, but they aren't very common in "high-speed" applications. The majority of large ship diesels are still 2-stroke, however.
