What's the purpose of this? I kind of like just having tar.xz and zip
enabled on mine, and then for folks who need tar.gz (like for bsd pkg
managers), they can have the other link. That way UI clutter is
minimized while the functionality stays in tact.

"Disabling snapshots" as a security "feature" isn't really so valid either.
