Just curious why you think this is a blocker? Each project knows
better
what formats are common and acceptable in the target user
community. There's
no single distribution format and this is not a blocker IMO.
The project OS targets include Windows, which does not support BZ2
natively by default, whereas Windows does now support Zip archives.
AFAIK, all other ASF releases use both tar.gz and zip archives.
Personally, I don't see how this is a blocking issue. It is unusual.
However, I leave it up to the VCL community to decide what archive
format is meeting the needs of their users.
This reflects my sentiments as well.
