The info may be incorrect, but if true, the decision wouldn't be surprising
given that MS has publicly stated it is phasing out Win98.  June 30, 2006 is
apparently the key date (but if you have deep enough pockets you can
presumably get continued support):

"Microsoft will not publicly release non-critical security hotfixes for
Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, or Windows Millennium Edition.
However, customers may request a non-critical security hotfix through
On-Demand Security Hotfix support, which is offered for these products
through June 30, 2006. When a request is received, Microsoft will
investigate the issue and try to provide an appropriate response to the
customer."
