Well, it's always been there, except when it could not be built.

No, they are.  In fact this is a key design feature, and the same reason 
why sometimes certain packages do not appear on the FTP site (if they 
did appear they would be necessarily *out* of sync).  Similarly they are 
always built against recent versions of -STABLE, by design.

Glad to hear your experience was generally positive though.
