I'll note that my archive of the windows installers is at 1.4GB with 285
installers present. That seems to go back to about bzr 1.8.

The Windows installers are going to be a lot bigger though, because each
'setup.exe' bundles all of PyQt and python, etc. (*.py2.5.exe is about
5MB, setup.exe is about 19MB.)

Anyway, I think it would be good to store all of them somewhere. At one
point I was doing it manually, but I've stopped for a while now.

Certainly Launchpad is storing all of the windows, mac and source files.
It seems a bit silly to claim that they couldn't also store the deb
packages. (Except for dailies, I guess.)
