This was a mistake on my part.  The last release had some problems in 
automation due to issues with our infrastructure 
(https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1263082).  As a result I had to 
run some jobs manually  and ran the checksums job in the wrong order so they 
were not copied over with the rest of the binaries. This has been resolved

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1263831

No change in policy, we will continue to ship checksums with every release!

thanks
Kim
