Here's an interesting link which speaks to the sudden Subaru withdrawal from the WRC. There is an interview (that's been translated) with a representative from FHI regarding this matter. From what's stated, this move came very quickly and with great surprise.
Here's Inside Line's take: Subaru Drops Out of FIA World Rally Championship

Yet, Subarus will still be in the actual races, just fielded by teams other than Subaru. Right?

not sure why it should have been a surprise since the rules were changed and Subie would have had to create an all new car to compete. It makes perfect sense in this environment that they would not have wanted to waste scarce resources to compete in a program that got them almost no recognition in the US.
I can['t believe that WRC hasn't repealed the rule for now to keep the number of participants as high as possible.
