That's such a shame... I really hope that Sony sells their CCD division or at least the ex-view technology.
I doubt it is going to be cheap, but the Eagle camera with the E2V chip in it looks like an absolute belter as well. 2.3e- readout noise and 1e- of thermal noise every 3 hours. When you factor in the relative QE at the emission line wavelengths, it is every bit the equal of the Sony chip wrt signal to noise.
