I have seen many e-commerce websites and they all have a feature which allows them to mark a product as "Permanently Discontinued". Where they show a message stating such.
Can such an option be added in this module that allows us to do precisely the same?
Perhaps a tick mark that disables the stock field and shows it permanently discontinued.

uditmahajan, the issue is that Discontinued can have many use cases for example we have a client that has a requirement to mark products as Discontinued, in his case this will mean that once the stock runs out it will never be available again so users are informed about the fact that its discontinued but can buy this items as long as they are in stock.
The idea behind stock 2 was to make it rules based giving you the power to control the implantation. so you can add a discontinued filed to the product and create a set of rules that set it as "Permanently Discontinued" instead of "Out of Stock" you can even control the class the button gets to control how it looks in CSS.

don't forget the Yin Yang rule of rules where Each rule has its opposite rule so if you have a rule to check for product marked as discontinued, you need to set your normal out of stock rule as to check for not discontinued.

Closing as the rules can be configured to resolve this specific use case.
