New submission from Steve Dower <steve.do...@python.org>:

In future releases, we won't be advertising the web-based installers anymore. 
They never got much use, and the shorter list of downloads will be more 
beneficial to users than saving 10-20MB worth of bandwidth. The web site change 
has already been made, and depending on when RMs pick up the newer script might 
impact any future release.

For 3.10, at least, we can stop producing and uploading the web-based 
installer. It won't hurt to keep doing it, and the *_pdb.msi and *_d.msi files 
will remain (as those are always download on demand), but it can eventually 
stop being produced (should just be in Tools/msi/buildrelease.bat, IIRC).
