What happened to the vsarPlanningGuide and vsarVersionControl silent releases?

We introduced the concept of silent releases‎ introducing  early BETA bits to a small group of “friends”, for early feedback and possible re-alignment. Two projects have received invaluable feedback, which means that we will continue the concept.

However, for two projects it is time to prepare for the final landing approach and therefore their silent releases vanished from CodePlex.
