benefit from the simple answer to "download the form"....

Yet, that was still overlooked by those here who sell tax advice

a living.....

While I agree that it is a "no-brainer" for many people to download the
estimated tax forms, I don't agree with your conclusion that such should
have been the obvious response to the OP.

He didn't ask, "where can I get the form", he asked "is this a mistake"
after observing that forms were not being delivered this year in the
accustomed time frame.

Even in the previous thread, the question was "Should we be concerned?
[...] Anybody know what the IRS timing on sending them out is?"

What remains unclear is whether it is a mistake, whether we should be
concerned, what the timing is, or is it just a new IRS policy that has
not been communicated very clearly (for example, is e-filing my 1040-ES
"return" the same thing as e-filing my form 1040, as one respondent
stated?). Other than a few "don't worry" replies, the question still
remains unanswered at this point, except for IRS language that many
would interpret to mean this: they ain't mailing out 1040-ES forms and
envelopes to e-filer's any more.

(Just as with e-filing, the total cost doesn't go away, it is just
shifted from one party to another).

Your preferred response to the OP, helpful as it may be, doesn't resolve
this issue or address the question posed by either of the OP's.

ESTIMATED TAX PAYMENT VOUCHERS
IRS will discontinue mailing paper form 1040ES vouchers & envelopes to
clients who file electronically. Estimated filers who file paper
returns will receive one mailing instead of quarterly mailings
