It's hard to make a judgement call here, because we're weighing
"complex for svn developers" vs. "confusing for users".

Is the extra release-complexity imposed on ~15 active developers worth
the tradeoff of preventing user-confusion over tarball names? It
sounds like you think it's not worth it. I'm sort of thinking it is.
Hm.
