Vista - 5728 64-bit version: Why is this "unannounced"?

Elsewhere in these newsgroups, a user has posted a link to download the
64-bit version of Vista build 5728. That link is still active (the file is
still there as of a few minutes ago). Note, there are also some incorrect
links posted that won't work.

My question is this: Why hasn't Microsoft posted the link to this build of
the 64-bit version? And, I suppose the related question is: Microsoft -- Do
you want us to install 5728 64-bit or not?

BTW, I've installed 5728 32-bit on another computer. Some nice fixes and
changes, a few new bugs (which I've reported).

And, I have 5600 64-bit on another machine. My question is whether to
upgrade that machine or not.

I Downloaded it, and it is Legit, it is indeed Microsoft's Public Download
Server, and it works great.

My guess is that they were doing the same type of release as they did with
5536.
