Weird. They used to be there. Certainly, I'd use the zip archive 
way before I touched any of the distribution-specific releases, 
even if I were on one of those distros. It's just so nice and 
trivial to use the zip archive, and I don't have to worry about 
where the .rpm or .deb or whatever puts stuff - or whether it 
even works with the exact release of the distro that I'm using.

I definitely agree that the zip file should be listed.
