Missing WMI class and properties in SQL Server 2008 CTP   

In a Windows 2003 SP2 system with SQL Server 2008 CTP installed on it, the 
WMI class win32_perfrawdata_mssqlserver_sqlservercachemanager is missing and 
any attempt to enumerate it ends in an “Invalid class” error. The class is 
available in SQL Server 2005 and we couldn’t get any info on the MSDN.

Also the WMI class win32_perfrawdata_mssqlserver_sqlserverbuffermanager 
lacks one of the properties: ‘Procedurecachepages’. With SQL Server 2005 that 
property was in the afore mentioned class

Is there any official reason for its absence? Is there any new class that 
will replace its functionality? They will be present in the final version of 
SQL Server 2008?
