Absolutely not! We will always have release tarballs available.

Right now, we use the "make dist" target that autotools creates, but that's
a convenience, not a requirement.

In fact, you can get weekly builds from the website as generated by
Jenkins. I have a script that runs to create a full tarball of the code
every Monday, and this includes the cmake install.

We'll probably do this (or something similar) to release tarballs when we
move away from autotools.

The cmake build is still the "experimental" way of building GNU Radio,
which is why it's not part of the stable releases.
