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.

This is technically how open source is supposed to work. There never was any obligation to develop in public, or technically to release the source code publicly either. There is no obligation to communication, bug requests, etc.

The obligation is specifically to provide the source code (without certain usage restrictions) for binary releases when requested, and no more.
