The regression data will bloat the tz distribution somewhat, though, so to help out with that let's distribute a single tarball containing both code and data (this was suggested during the previous millennium, so it's about time :-), and while we're at it, use a better compressor than gzip. (For compatibility we'll still distribute the old-format .tar.gz pair for a while.) I'll propose a patch for that too.
Please no, for the reasons amply stated by others in this thread. -GAWollman
