More or less forever.  They were a major drain on mirror resources as
well as release engineering team resources as the package sets needed to
be adjusted each time.  They also covered less then half the available
packages so they were only useful if you where lucky enough to find your
desired packages on the CDs.  We certaintly wouldn't object to someone
else maintaining infrastructure to build ISOs like these since they are
useful, they just weren't worth the effort from the relase engineer's
perspective.
