A couple years ago I needed a replacement ceiling fixture for our utility room and I bought a low cost one at the local Lowes. When I got it home I discovered it had a GU24 pin base socket and came with a GU24 CFL bulb (see picture). Yesterday the bulb burned out and I didn't have a GU24 replacement so I went back to Lowes to get one. Surprise - no CFL bulbs in the place.
What I did find at Lowes was a GU24 to E26 adapter that turned my GU24 fixture into a traditional screw in lamp holder and a big pack of LED screw base bulbs. So to paraphrase The Buggles it seems "LED has killed the CFL lamp". That is more than OK with me - I had already dumped screw in incandescents and CFL's in favor of LED lamps and the GU24 lamp holders are a PITA ;-)
