Was it a bug or a conscious decision by espressif?
I'm not sure. If I had to guess it's a bug but since it's a "hacky" feature they can't be bothered to make it work again.

Why have they done that?
The scuttlebutt I've heard is one of two things (or maybe both) A) the third party that was building the packages was getting paid by Espressif, and there was disagreement over compensation. I can't verify this. B) (What I found out since making this post) Espressif never officially supported it, but they had it in their docs until it became a nightmare for them because they were getting issue reports for stuff they didn't make. I think this is more likely.
