I emailed Kobo customer care about the store no longer showing DRM status and the response suggests that this is a permanent change, that they will no longer list whether books have DRM or not.

While I don't like DRM, it's easily enough gotten rid of, so for me the info "Download options: Adobe DRM epub" has always signaled that I can go ahead and buy the book, even though I would prefer it DRM-free.
For me, not having that information implies something even worse: I don't know if I can download that book at all, or if I am stuck with a kepub that I can only get on my reader by synchronizing - and which might well become useless once I decide to buy a reader from a different manufacturer - or once Kobo crahes and burns due to idiotic decisions such as this recent one.
Bye Kobo, it's been nice to know you. (And I also really liked your shop, despite its shortcomings. Just have a look at my list of purchases, dear Kobo, and you will see that I am not the kind of customer you can afford to lose...)
