I don't see what's the big deal with providing one zip per supported platform (and each Linux distro is to be considered a separate platform here), *and* a dmd_everything.zip for distributors who *want* to have everything in one (they are installing D onto a network of heterogenous machines, they're making a distribution CD, etc.). The default download *should* be the platform-specific zip / tarball / package, but there's no need to kill the all-inclusive zip that contains literally *everything*, for the people who want it for whatever reason.
