It looks like these stopped being published:

http://distfiles.gentoo.org/releases/amd64/current-stage3/

Any reason? They can still be found here,

http://gentoo.osuosl.org/releases/amd64/autobuilds/

but it looks like even those stopped being built a week ago.

The last one now is of 20110602, which is fairly recent.

The autobuilds are not always created successfully. Updates on compilers or other toolchain changes might affect build successes. When these builds fail, they are not propagated so you'll have to "wait" a week (if you desperately need a build that's more recent than a few weeks old). Considering that Gentoo is a rolling upgrade distribution, working from a month-old stage is not an issue. Even several months old isn't an issue.

That makes sense.

What's the difference between autobuild/stage3-foo and
current-stage3/stage3-foo? I've always looked in current-stage3 in the
past (I think this is where the handbook taught me to look so long ago).

I do not think there is a difference.

Well, I ask because the hardened stages are missing from the
current-stage3 directory but not autobuild.

current-stage3 is a symlink to the last autobuild . If it failed it is
empty, as simple as that.
