Karl seems to imply that having an uncompressed archive is required for some use cases so I suppose there's a need for the "consumers" of those archives to be able to specify that they require the uncompressed version? If that's correct, a way of identifying those uncompressed versions is required, IMHO. That can be the file extension, or maybe a Maven classifier? A common pattern used for tar archives is to add a suffix to indicate compression, such as .tar.gz -Bertrand
