Have the Milestone (stable) update-site links been abandoned? [message #1848447]

Sometimes I like to try out releases before they're finished. I'm not gung-ho enough for nightly builds, but the "stable" updates seemed right for me, e.g. to board a running train around M3 or RC1:

In Eclipse I tried updating my link for this, following the usual numbering pattern, but this time it didn't work:

https://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/4.22milestones/

After some digging it seems this was quietly retired?

https://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php?title=Eclipse_Project_Update_Sites&type=revision&diff=444082&oldid=443466

I can of course update to the specific RC (4.22RC2), but I guess I liked how the old one would just update automatically through to release.

Does anyone know the background + motivation for the change?
