[CC'ed to python-dev, distutils-sig; followups to distutils-sig]

In the commentary attached to bug #410541, I suggest removing the bdist_dumb command, because no interesting platforms actually install from zip files.

Are there any platforms Python supports, such as Slackware, BeOS, AtheOS, or whatever, where the convention is to do binary installations from .zip files? Any objections to killing bdist_dumb?
