Could you give a bit more detail on how you came to be publishing both? The main thing we're trying to avoid is missing a practical use case for the status quo where folks can upload both - if it's just an artifact of Windows and *nix having different default formats, then the convergence in distutils and setuptools will fix it implicitly, but if it's a deliberate design decision, then we need to check if that's based on a misunderstanding of how pip/easy_install/et al consume the two formats.
