That doesn't explain why we leave a broken link in place when we do 
major releases - for days usually (if not weeks) with no explanation to 
users. That part of the release process is broken and should be fixed. 
Putting some placeholder text on the release page instead of the broken 
link is barely any more effort at all.

For the last 2.6.5 release I changed the text and removed the dead link 
myself. When the Mac installer was uploaded someone else put the link back.

Which is why I sent the email onto python-dev. However, no-one responded 
until Steve.

All the best,
