I don’t see why we would do that. The .tar.gz is a Python sdist (source 
distribution), i.e., almost the same as tarring the source code, just with some 
metadata added. In my view, the source code is part of the normal release 
artifacts for any software, and an sdist is very simple to generate. Plus, you 
will of course always be able to check out the Git repository.
