Yup, I'd noticed this too. I wonder if that decision was taken due to the ever receding Swanage publication date which must be something of an embarrassment for them. The 2013/14 date I mentioned is what it says on this page:
http://www.climbers-club.co.uk/guidebooks/ci-sw-swanage.html
Strange how the new Swanage guide is pictured in several recent CC guides as if it was already available. I found this quote from Steve Taylor in a UKC article from May 2001:
"I'm currently working on the new Climber's Club Guide to Swanage, and will be making some extremely strong recommendations to avoid routes with loose finishes, such as most of the Cormorant Ledge area."
So the guide has been in the making for well over a decade now, we may soon be talking about its progress in geological eras!
