It appears that it's been removed. It's unlikely that they'd temporarily turn it off without stating that it might come back.

I'd assume that Google have gotten to a point where whatever data they're getting from the tool isn't telling them anything new, at least not algorithmically. Hard to say whether this will resolve current scraping complaints. Check out this thread on the topic from when the report form was announced...
