Yes, I think so.  The downloads are very useful for people who  
regularly work disconnected from the public internet, or who are  
constrained by very small pipes.  The PDF downlaods are also pretty  
important for the smaller documents, especially the tutorial.  Many  
people want to walk away from the computer to read through that the  
first time.

I think we should, but I'm hoping Georg has some ideas on how best to  
get the processes integrated.  :-)
