Why have they retired most of the official arduino shields?

I have just been looking for official shields to use with my relatively new arduino but I looked on the store and every shield was out of stock. Then I looked at the retired ones. All the interned shields and quite alot of other shields have been retired.

Any idea why??
Are they planning on releasing a new collection?
Does anybody have any idea?

It is because of the cc vs org war. There will probably be new shields released soon.
