Ubuntu Core 16 beta images available

Hello,

The RPi3 image has been deleted.  Was this intentional?  I have the
file, but if this was intentionally taken down, I probably don't want
to flash it to my card.  I did get the "unxz:
ubuntu-core-16-pi3.img.xz: Unexpected end of input" error noted by
others when I extracted it.

Thanks
