Is any of the data about the size of their index and so on still available? Is there some competitive advantage to keeping this secret?

it's probably meaningless by now... my guess is that the reason why google doesn't publish stats, they simply don't want bing or yahoo or someone else claim to have the biggest index and gain cheap press coverage... after all it's not about how big index you got but you are doing with it
