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. ;-)
