The release is still tagged in the repo [1], but the download link [2] and
the changelog entry [3] have gone.

Was this an accident, or on purpose. (if it was on purpose is there an
issue we should know about?)

[2] http://pecl.php.net/package/APC
[3] http://pecl.php.net/package-changelog.php?package=APC&release=3.1.14

It was done by Rasmus on purpose, as there were memory issues with this
release what we couldn't track down/fix yet.

This is really a bad thing to do, generally speaking, especially a
long time after it was released.

Right,but it was beta so... :)

However to mark a release as bad is not a small addition, as many just
do pecl update/install without checking the notes on the site. PEAR
will require changes too.

So is 3.1.13 but that one doesn't actually step all over memory.
Deleting 3.1.14 indicates nicely that people should stick with 3.1.13
for now while we clean things up and release a 3.1.15 soon.

Should not these be removed or replaced as well?

And did you track down the memory issues yet?
