The rest as the say is history.
928 no longer with us - 911 is!!

What's in a name?
Is the 911 today, the same 911 as it was?
I don't think so - the only thing the current (997 type) 911 shares with the 911 (964 type?) that survived the 928 is the rear engine configuration.
You can't say that it's still the same car, for whatever reasons the 911 has had to evolve into what it is today.
Ducati has allowed the 916/996/998 series to evolve too, and there is no denying there desirability even to this day.
But regardless of how desirable it is, when evolution (and production) stops, you just find yourself riding an old bike.
Or you can take the opportunity to move with the times.
