It might be relevant that that both of those tools appear to be licensed under ASL 2.0, which explicitly permits redistribution (presumably outside the private area?). I would think it confusing to have an open source license on software which is expected to remain private, or otherwise restricted from redistribution. As such, it seems prudent to move them to a more appropriate area. That's my opinion, anyway.
