Not if you approach it practically (verses politically) Source code
downloads basically exclude the entire windows user base, while
including the *nix user base. Adding win32 binaries balances this out.
Furthermore the majority of people who have trouble using our ftp mirror
system are windows users, so having another outlet to send them to is
really a bonus (and the pgfoundry website doesnt compete with
sourceforges distribution system)
