Oil paint on the way out?

Interesting story from the Washington Post .... some mid-Atlantic states are phasing out the sale of oil-based paint. Sales of oil-based paint are declining anyway (something like 15%), but among enthusiasts there has been a desperate rush to stockpile oil paint, or import from states like Virginia, which still allow its use.

I prefer latex paint myself. I painted the house last year and it was relatively easy to clean up, without having to use spirits.
