What an unfortunate decision this was to cram source distributions into the box of gzipped tarballs. It's very unfriendly to the 73% of machines worldwide that run versions of Windows OS. It requires the installation of a third-party app on many, if not all, of these devices just to view downloaded source.

@jpl-jengelke how is it limiting? Wheels are zip files and tarballs are readable with CPython's stdlib out of the box. Plus there's python -Im tarfile. If you have Python, you can unpack it w/o needing any extra software.
