This headline really is misleading. The source will still be released, it just means that the work leading up to a release will be in private. IMO, there's nothing wrong with that, since it's likely that a lot of the intermediate com mediates are likely just noise.

If I understand correctly, it sounds a bit like Valve and SteamOS. They publish the source, but they optimize for their internal developers and tools, not for easy source access by anonymous members of the public. Valve has been publishing its source as tarballs, not git commits (hence, projects like Jovian and Evlav reconstructing it in GitHub).
