Brian:
There was no announcement that this change was about to be deployed; however,
there was a long discussion of the change. It started with a request for the
HTML version of the I-D instead of the plain text version. At the end of the
discussion the decision was to use the Datatracker URL as it allows anyone to
get the plaintext or a diff with just one more click.

There's no longer a URL for the standard .txt format. That's
mildly annoying for me (extra time and extra mouse clicks)
and must be a nuisance for anyone who processes these messages
automatically.
At least, I would have expected a warning message about the change.
