 It was equally surprising to me.

 The author wrote to CTAN asking us to remove this package from
 the archive, arguing it was "too old" and contained "too many
 typographical bugs".

 I tried to convince him _not_ to do this, mentioning that this
 would lead to removal from TeX Live as well, which would be a
 pity, given that this is a standard reference.  But it seemed
 that he knew exactly what he was doing and that this was what
 he wanted.  So there we are ...

 BTW:
 http://mirror.ctan.org/obsolete/info/math/voss/mathmode/Mathmode.pdf
 still exists.  (Hope it won't have to disappear, too ...)
