Maybe they stopped. I haven't been there in a while. My last trip to Israel was in January, 2013. I was there once then. Previously I went there more often when the Heritage House let people stay for free in the Old City. Now the Heritage House doesn't like religious Jews to stay there because they are trying to do outreach to the Birthright people who they say never experienced a real Shabbat meal before.
I stayed at Ascent of Tzvat a few days on my last trip to Israel and the Russian Jews were saying Yechi after Shacharit in the synagogue in Ascent.
Maybe it was a lone guy but in the Old City yechi is not a regular thing & same thing with Ascent.
