Not all vimballs are compressed. Eg narrow_region.vba is not.
So maybe only vba.gz files are hard to install for Windows users.

But this doesn't change the facts:
- we could easily fix it (mirroring)
- but we should only do so if Windows users say they are interested

But no Windows users did say that (about themselves) yet, did they?

So you should talk about .vba.gz explicitly then.
