[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?
