Well we kind of do that already. No?

No. We provide Linux binaries in .zip and pretend they are expected to
work for all distros which simply can't happen in general. Fedora bug
report would not have been valid if not implication that there is a
supported binary distribution for Fedora.
I suggest to simply stop pretending any kind of such support exist and
drop Linux binaries from .zip at all. Motivating people to create dmd
packages for their native distros scales much better (and solves
most/all curl issues for Linux)
I agree the business with distributing all binaries for all platforms in
the .zip is just weird. We should drop it for the New Year's release.
