[BioC] missing functions in affy package

There is definitely a normalize.quantiles() in the preprocessCore package:

> str(preprocessCore::normalize.quantiles)
function (x, copy = TRUE)

> packageDescription("preprocessCore");

I have recently installed the latest version of R (2.8) and the affy package off of Bioconductor.  I noticed that this function no longer exists within the package.  I wonder if this is an oversight on my part, or if it isn't, is there is a reason it was pulled from the package?  I am on a Mac, although my Windows machine has the same problem with the new version.
