This kind of insulting vitriol is inappropriate in this forum.  It is
also ineffective at accomplishing whatever you're hoping to accomplish.
Please keep a civil tone on this public mailing list (and others).

Modern development is often done with distributed revision control
systems. Compared to tarballs, they allow a much finer-grained
representation of source history; cryptographically stronger file
integrity checks; more comprehensible merging of branches of
development; and lower bandwidth consumption when synchronizing between
developers.

There are some use cases where it's worth arguing for tarballs, but none
of them warrant the kind of abuse in your message.  Please be kind to
your fellow developers and users who participate here.

Regards,
