vCLS VMs hidden

After upgrading to vCenter 7.0 U2a all cluster VMs (vCLS) are hidden from site using either the web client or PowerCLI, like the vCenter API is obfuscating them on purpose. I see no indication they exist other than in the Files view of the datastores they were deployed on.

So, my questions are: was this on purpose in u2? I suspect there were enough stupid people out there messing with them because they didn't know how to use Google to find out they are needed that VMware made the decision to hide them, but it is a pain in the butt. 

I have a datastore I need to decom and the vCLS VMs were deployed on it and since I can't find them I can't migrate their storage (or know if I should be able to). I turned of cluster DRS hoping that would remove the vCLS VMs, but I still cannot delete the files from the datastore.

Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated.
