That is correct. These stylesheets are no longer being maintained. If you feel that the stylesheets that are present and prominently advertised in the menus are inadequate, and especially if they are inadequate in a way that one of the legacy stylesheets was adequate to your use, then I'd certainly encourage you to email suggestions at wolfram.com. You could also email me and I can pass your suggestions along, but I was only tangentially involved in this decision, and I'm not well prepared to respond directly to such suggestions. In the meantime, you can also set a stylesheet by evaluating, e.g., SetOptions[EvaluationNotebook[],StyleDefinitions->"ArticleClassic.nb"] Concerning the larger issue of stylesheet editing and usage, I have quite a number of things to say on the subject, and I'll be responding to some other posts on the subject. It is, indeed, an under-documented area, but I'm glad to see the interest, and you'll be seeing more both on MathGroup and in future releases of the product on this.
