This sounds fine, the only bottleneck I can think of is that people among
distributions used to have "that" tarball (concrete name, structure, etc.)
and to switch from the (very) old version to the REL9.4.1208 they will
need to change a bit more things.

I'm OK to fix our spec file (build "declarative" "script") [1] to follow
new format, and those who have not raised their hands yet will need to do
it post-mortem. Could we fix the link coming from download.html to the
tarball -- to clearly say what source linux distribution should use?

Might be, that bin.tar.gz is not known to me :(.
