[one-users] Nomadic CentOS repository: WHY?!?

Past OpenNebula 4.x releases have been packaged as RPM's for CentOS
available in a yum repository with a baseurl of
'http://downloads.opennebula.org/repo/CentOS/6/stable/$basearch'
For some inscrutable reason, 4.8 RPMs are not there. Instead, the 4.8
docs on the website now direct us to a repo at the baseurl
'http://downloads.opennebula.org/repo/4.8/CentOS/6/x86_64/'
Is there a rational explanation for this? One of the main points of
using a package management system like yum/RPM is to simplify updates,
but this change obfuscates the visibility of the update and seems to
indicate a plan to hide future releases as well.
Also, the new repo lacks an RPM for opennebula-context and the release
notes point to a github repo which includes a script to build packages
from the source. Does this mean there will no longer be a prebuilt RPM
of opennebula-context?
