Honor/Huawei’s bootloader unlock page disappears with no explanation

For the past 2 weeks, Honor users have been unable to access the page for generating bootloader unlock codes. Visiting the page shows "404 Not Found." Huawei has been notably silent on the issue until finally today the HonorUSA twitter account addressed it. Unfortunately, they did not give any explanation about why the page is gone, just that they are aware of it.

The bootloader unlock codes are what allow users to, obviously, unlock the bootloader and install TWRP, use custom ROMs, and get root access. What's more, the Honor Open Source Program for the Honor View 10 is useless without unlockable bootloaders. The disappearance of this page has cut users off from a world of modification.

Honor has set up a Google Doc in the interim for users to request bootloader unlock codes directly. They say the turnaround time is about 24 hours from when you submit the request. This is obviously not an ideal solution, but it shows they do care about providing the unlock codes. You can sign up for a bootloader unlock code with the Google Doc found here.
