I would guess that this has a lot to do with it. I also think that there are not as many people who are "experts" with the 4.6. Think about how long the 5.0 has been out. I also think that more people with 4.6L stangs opt for superchargers and other power adders that don't require going into the engine and tearing things apart, which are great learning experiences.
Emissions are important, I think the comment about the 5.0 not meeting emissions is probably very valid. I work for an equipment manufacturer and the government regualtions are really coming down hard.
The 4.6 is still a solid engine, and I wouldn't knock it. The 4.6 DOHC is a great engine (IMO).
I would rather see Ford switch engines and keep the mustang fresh, than keep the designs on the back shelf with all the cobwebs. That's how cars get canceled
