Update: Looks like Intel issued a statement that discontinuing the G3420 was actually a mistake on its part, and that's why it "brought it back" from the briefly-dead. Intel said to Tom's: "On December 5, a PCN was erroneously posted on product discontinuance of the Intel Pentium Processor G3420. There is no change to the Intel Pentium Processor G3420 product roadmap, and that product continues to be supported by Intel."
