Sounds like a "nay" vote on the suggestion. :)
In defense of the idea, though, I want to point out that there are
already two versions of the distribution. Perhaps two (corresponding)
versions of the documentation is not out of line, so long as the
change can be automated (which it can be).

I vote for source being primary. Otherwise, I would have to recommend
that people get the (ick) rpm instead of tarball.
