I'm kind of surprised Tracie Long isn't showing any signs of going crunch-less, but maybe that's because I really want her to. I picture her sitting there going, "Oh, crunches, I just can't quit you!"
Amy Bento seems to be heading that direction; I'm thinking of the abs segments on some of her recent DVDs, like Kettlebell Dynamics and Hi/Lo Dynamics. I see some other instructors like Kelly Coffey-Meyer and even Cathe Friedrich showing some signs of dipping toes ever so tentatively into the crunch-less waters, too, but I think many of them will take this very literally and just leave out small floor crunches in favor of standing crunches, sit-ups, etc.

I guess it's asking too much of the "old guard" to give up crunches, since their audience expects it, but maybe there's hope for a newer instructor who hasn't built up a following.

I know dance workouts don't have crunches, but that doesn't count! (Maybe that's why I've been sticking with dance workouts!) I just wish there was an instructor whose strength-training videos can be guaranteed not to have crunches.
