It is not absent:
http://www.quantum-espresso.org/ => Users =>  Pseudopotentials
"Ready to use pseudopotentials are available here:
http://pseudopotentials.quantum-espresso.org/legacy_tables.
Some of these tables are kept for reference and are not recommended"
The last sentence explains why those tables are not shown in a prominent 
position
