Panoramic camreas most likely do not accept 220 film !
They usually work with the film numbering on the backing paper and don?t have an adjustable backing plate !
So these users are lost for 220.

This is WRONG. I use a Roundshot and it works better with 220 film than 120. I use ONLY 220 film in it, because most of my negs are between 20 and 60 cm wide! Lots of film changing with 120, plus more wastage per roll. In addition, I could make a single shot 1,6 m long with a 220 film, with 120 I am limited to roughly 80 cm.
Any camera that uses the film numbering on the backing paper probably belongs to the museum. You can't use that nowadays because the films are too sensitive and will be fogged if the sun shines on the back of the camera.
Fuji and Kodak did not decide to stop making 220 film.
Fuji never made 220 b/w film in the first place, because they came late to the b/w film business. They don't even offer 4x5" b/w sheet film except in Japan.
Kodak makes Tri-X 320 and chromogenic b/w film, none of which are too interesting. Plus-X is produced but not sold outside of the USA. I am sure a run of T-Max 100 and 400 would be well received.
