Wyeast 3522 and 1968 seasonal releases now?

I was looking at the Wyeast seasonal release archive and noticed a couple strains I thought were core strains but they showed up as past seasonal releases.

Does anyone know if 3522 Belgian Ardennes and 1968 London ESB ale are no longer core strains?

I saw that earlier today and wondered if it was a mistake.

Did more poking around on their site and found something in their blog, but still not very clear. Guessing still core strains but listing them in the seasonal release area is confusing.

"In this collection, we’re highlighting two special strains that have become famous among professional brewers: 1728 Scottish Ale and 1968 London ESB Ale, with this year marking thirty years since they were isolated for the Wyeast Culture Collection." Confusing for sure, doesn't make sense to me really.

Reached out to Wyeast through their website and they said it is a marketing thing to highlight some of their standard offerings.

Pretty impressed with how quickly they got back to me.
