Were they actually good? I could see this being an absolute fly-by wharbargle.

I never heard complaints, and my own experience was with the stuff they were wrapping up for my team just as I was hired. It was solid and we extended it further about a year later on our own without issue. (Organized code, including some plsql, tests, and some useful docs were left behind.) I could see the concept going south somewhere else though especially if they're more thrust upon teams that don't want them by upper management.
