I think no, since I can't find them anywhere... :?

Unfortunately, I read some where that binaries would be dropped because upgrading by just placing the new binaries over the old would cause problems.

I don't think we will see binaries... looks like you'll have to rip them from the ISO (ala WinRAR) or something.

That's not so easy possible, because the registry and maybe other things, too needs to be compiled during setup process.

Which is exactly the reason the binaries-only package is gone.

I personally liked them as I could test some of the files on windows without having to compile them, eg. explorer, bin test. It gave a nice way of seeing how the programs reacted differently in MS Windows and ReactOS.
