You sure about that? Â GFCI breakers as well as their close cousins AFCIs are still being sold and bought at hardware stores.
I am not sure I would call AFCIs a close cousin to the GFCI (except that they are both more expensive that a non-xFCI breaker). They serve different purposes. The (arc) faults that AFCIs are designed to interrupt would commonly be passed through the GFCI without notice. GFCIs are designed to protect people from shock, and AFCIs are designed to protect against fire from the arc (which also tends to protect people, but less directly).
