Issue with Brother printers, DCP 1610 series : just disappeared from the DB#32

Description

In the past there were FOSS drivers for DCP-1610W and other DCP printers:

Now all these Brother printers are gone. What happened? How can I download a driver for one of those models?

UPD:
I managed to get the driver from AUR, and still it's not clear why the foomatic db discarded a lot of Brother drivers

    Any steps done to add drivers?
    Why were they removed?
    Are there any other open drivers for this printer?
