My personal take on all of this is that we make the release manager's job as simple as possible. Although if someone from the community wanted to volunteer to build tgz files, that might go a long way toward keeping this option available. Disk space on python.org isn't (or shouldn't be) an issue.

Sure. I could build the tar.gz if given a tar.bz2/cvs pointer, though I personally think even the coordination overhead wouldn't make it worthwhile. If nothing else, just to end this IMHO silly thread.
