What Tier-1 has changed is that the Castor information stopped getting published in the BDii. This was due to a failure of the machine running the Castor Information Provide (CIP). The CIP was a legacy part of Castor (It didn't support GLUE2 schema), and was due to be decommissioned, the hardware failure expedited this issue. Although we admit this is not ideal, we decided against bringing back a service simply to then inform people we would shortly remove it.
