I will say this one last time:
IF I GET ANY MORE GRIEF ABOUT .bz2 FILES I'M REMOVING THEM FROM THE ARCHIVE! I added .bz2 files because I thought it would be a low-overhead additional service, but the amount of whining that has resulted has gotten really annoying.
The .bz2 files are generated automatically with a sweeper script that runs hourly, whereas the announcements are close to immediate. At this point I don't want to advertise them further because of the quantity of "what's a .bz2 file" mail I get, and the bzip2 author's refusal to set up an FTP archive so I can mirror it.
