to be specific, it's contrib, masses, and tools that have been dropped.

1. does anyone run masses from the tarball, who isn't capable of using svn?  I
don't think so, so +1

2. contrib contains:

-contrib/check_spamd
-contrib/mbox-to-check
-contrib/run-corpora
-contrib/run-masses

I'm fine with those being moved, I've never used any of them! ;)  check_spamd is
the only one that might be useful to have in the tarball, or in some
well-defined location.  I suppose we could provide a link to a
http://svn.apache.org/ URL for that.

3. tools contains:

-tools/README.speedtest
-tools/check_whitelist
-tools/convert_awl_dbm_to_sql
-tools/desc_length.pl
-tools/mboxsplit
-tools/sa-stats.pl
-tools/speedtest
-tools/split_corpora
-tools/sysreport
-tools/test_extract

some of those are definitely used by non-SVN users -- maybe we should include
links to their locations in svn.apache.org, prominently, on the website/wiki.

Actually, the "link to svn" idea for those scripts may not be a viable option. 
there's currently strong discussion going on in ASF lists regarding having clear
dividing lines between svn/nightly-snapshot tarballs (for developer use) and
release tarballs (for general use, which are +1'd by PMC).  if we encourage
users to download from svn.apache.org, that may not be viable.

perhaps it'd be ok to encourage downloads from a specific label, which is always
synced to the most recent +1'd release.

4. have you checked for documentation that mentions those scripts in a way that
insinuates they're still in the tarball?
