We should certainly consider internet speeds across the world in
general, but I don't think it's that important to this particular
discussion. In most cases, users who just want to install and use a
package can get it as a wheel, so what we do with sdists doesn't matter
to them. And there aren't many projects where adding tests and docs
makes an order of magnitude difference to the archive size.
