I honestly don't care what format we use. I would just prefer to have
one. For a long time we've just been using zips for internal
distributions and it hasn't caused a problem. Just figured we would
cater to the windows users because there are more of them.

Is it really worth bothering? I see no positive aspects, apart from
saving some bytes of space and a few words in the pom and/or assembly

"modern zip implementation", which Unix distributions tend to have
not. I''d strongly recommend to keep tar distributions.
Note, that you could also say that "modern unarchives seem to be able
to extract tar files" and recommend to drop the zip distribution with
roughly the same likelyhood to be correct.

about we
just distribute a zip?
