At this point, I'm planning to drop the gzip-compressed archives for all future Python releases. The bzip2 archives are much smaller (saving bandwidth, disk space, and download time), and supporting software seems to have become widely available in both free and commercial tools.
I'm still planning to make ZIP archives available. If anyone would like to argue that I should drop that as well, feel free. ;-)
