This apparently went into effect late yesterday, probably at midnight. When
I did a routine OIG run at 20:30 UT 11 April 2003, the IGS were there with
current TLEs.  Just now, at 13:55 UT 12 April 2003, "no elements available."
11 April is Day 101:

IGS 1A

1 27698U 03009A   03101.61626672 -.00525736  00000-0 -21944-1 0   683

IGS 1B

More sport for the observers, it seems.
