IIRC, they were removed because being in the official handbook, people 
used them. Then caused endless traffic on endless forums and lists when 
they did it wrong (mostly because they didn't know enough yet about the 
process and followed bad ricing advice).

The stage 1 and 2 tarballs are still available - I used them recently to 
build a custom stage 3 with catalyst, and the stage 1/2 install pages 
are still available in an archive somewhere. So they're not gone, just 
hard to find for those still finding their way around. Which is 
probably not a bad thing overall IMHO
