As a developer I prefer .tar.gz, but I don't have a strong opinion on
picking zip or tar, I think tar is fine as long as all installers out
there (easy_install, pip, etc) are  working with the archives on every
platform too.

Someone who wants more can handle tar imho.

i'll sen a mail to distutils-SIG
