it seems (hope I am wrong) that Adobe is slowly removing features that were in the Suites to make it more attractive to move to their Creative Cloud rental model.
I question that. There's nothing in the Cloud that replaces Resource Central or CS Review. And you don't need the Cloud to get Story.
Creative Cloud is just another way for folks to get Adobe software. You can buy, or rent. Same end product either way. (With the exception that Cloud users get new features right away, whereas purchasers must wait for a full release to get those same features.)
