I haven't heard anything definitive about it, but Ben Burtt is the guy who's 
been keeping that sound alive. Since he moved over to Pixar, he probably 
didn't do any sound design for Avatar, and I'm guessing most other sound 
designers wouldn't feel comfortable using it, since it kind of became his 
baby.
