The breakers, I assume you mean.

This page: http://www.hilo-electric.com/blank?pageid=63 suggests that 2008
code still *permits* them, but neither it nor the concurring Wikipedia 
article mentions then category having been delisted or manufacture-decontinued.

And indeed, I had little luck with Google trying to find evidence of mass
delistings of GFCI breakers.
