That was to make it harder for Oracle to offer support for OEL, but made no difference to Centos & the non-commercial clones because they shipped the RH kernel unmodified and didn't need to worry about what any individual patch did. I'm not sure its been a thing since RHEL6 either.

Source RPMs are also not publicly published anymore. The source is available in the CentOS git repos, will be interesting to see what happens after CentOS 8 ends.
