I suspect that maybe they found that the heavier weight and cost of the setup hurt the image of the product as a light and inexpensive product when compared to a canister. Since they never managed to get certified at many of the national parks maybe they took a different approach and gave up trying to emulate the full function of a canister cut the liner out of the product line.
Note that mine is the XL size, and that aluminum sheet is the size for mine. So, if you have one that is a different size, they might be gone in your size.
I think they are gone in all sizes as far as new stock from Ursack. What may be in stock around various vendors... who knows? You may still find what you want, but if interested you might want to snag one soon. I guess any sheet metal or even home shop could fabricate one pretty easily and possibly cheaper. I'd stick with the same 6061 T6 aluminum in the original dimensions for your size Ursack.
