I had forged ahead with the single archive release format in the
assumption that it was a cleaner approach than having separate
archives.  To me, it looks cluttered to have:

* pivot-1.1-incubating.tar.gz
* pivot-1.1-incubating.tar.gz.asc
* pivot-1.1-incubating.tar.gz.md5
* pivot-1.1-incubating.tar.gz.sha
* pivot-1.1-incubating-src.tar.gz
* pivot-1.1-incubating-src.tar.gz.asc
* pivot-1.1-incubating-src.tar.gz.md5
* pivot-1.1-incubating-src.tar.gz.sha
* pivot-1.1-incubating-doc.tar.gz
* pivot-1.1-incubating-doc.tar.gz.asc
* pivot-1.1-incubating-doc.tar.gz.md5
* pivot-1.1-incubating-doc.tar.gz.sha

As opposed to just having one archive that contains doc, src, and lib
folders within it.  However, Niclas brings up the good point that the
single tarball approach could be annoying to users with slow network
connections.

Does anyone feel strongly about this?  Is it even worth voting on, or
is this a non-issue?  Note that we could possibly go with the two
tarball approach, drop the doc archive, and the user who wants local
docs could build it from src...

Thoughts?
