Ah, I thought that was not intentional.
Tarballs are the standard for releases of wast majority of FOSS projects
-- as the 'ustar' format is defined by POSIX (and is _really_ simple,
compared to zip) it is available probably everywhere. Fore example,
PostgreSQL and Maven themselves are distributed in tarballs.
As I write you from GNU/Linux, I definitely prefer .tar.gz, but OTOH, this
is probably not burning if nobody else cares -- I'm just surprised.
I believe we are able to deal with jar/zip files.
