Is DD-WRT micro still available?

Just curious, since some routers I recently ordered, apparently come in a version with Broadcom hardware, but unfortunately, they only have 2MB flash.

As I understand it, DD-WRT micro was built for 2MB flash routers. But the DD-WRT wiki no longer seems to have a page for micro, but there is one for micro-plus.

Is Micro discontinued?

Edit: This is the router I had ordered:

v1 is Broadcom, v3 is Realtek. (Seems no v2 exist?)

I think it's more the case that Micro has to be tailored for whatever the router model is. I have an old Netgear WPN824v2 that could fit a Micro build but the flash size is so small that it would require a special rewrite. This Belkin is actually on the incompatible device list.
 
I know it's on the incompatible device list. The problem is, I can't figure out why. I thought it was because it had less than 4MB flash, but then I remembered that the LinkSys WRT54G v8 only has 2MB flash, and it is supported by DD-WRT Micro. So I was wondering why they don't do a DD-WRT Micro for this Belkin v1 router with Broadcom hardware.
 
My guess is it has a flash size that's too small even for a Micro build. 2MB doesn't mean it can fit a Micro build, every router has different partitioning practices and a few bytes can make all the difference in whether or not it can fit the dd-wrt code.
