What happened to the official Arch Vagrant box?

The Arch Download page references an official box for Vagrant (https://portal.cloud.hashicorp.com/vagr … /archlinux) which I have been using for some time.

Yesterday, I noticed the image could no longer be fetched, and inspecting the page above it tells me there are no available versions, as all of them have been revoked.

Does anybody know if the box is being discontinued, or if it will be made available again?

Is there any official statement somewhere?

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

@Lone_Wolf: thanks.

At this point it would be very appreciated if the Arch staff could update the download page and remove the references to Vagrant boxes, or add a note they are unavailable until anyone decides to resume publishing. This inconsistency between the download page and the actual availability is likely to trip more people. I believe this should also be warranted an announce.
