Not true, according to the dealer I spoke with while ordering a key for my '99 E300D today. (see details below)
They said three years were no longer available but the 140 keys for two other years are still available to order.
I don't remember if they said the affected years were 93-95 or what range were discontinued. Must be due to a technical difference, I remember some locks used infrared and they changed to wifi, maybe thats why the different range - just a hunch!
check with your dealer if you are in need of a key fob for a W140.
