I agree.

If we hear of any problem, we can simply unpack the tarball (somewhere
where that's not a problem), and repackage it two ways: the old way,
and the new way, giving the "new" archive a special component in its
name, e.g.:

   subversion-1.0.1.tar.gz
   subversion-1.0.1.tar.bz2
   subversion-1.0.1.cpio-tar.gz
   subversion-1.0.1.cpio-tar.bz2

It's fine to release repackagings of the same good stuff -- the
"subversion-1.0.1" is what defines the release, not the ".tar.gz"
part.

(There might be better names available, this was just an example. And
remember, I'm not proposing we do this first. First, we should just
try the new system, and if there are no problems, then great.)
