I am for this only if there in an anonymous FTP site associated
with the binaries group, on the principle that you shouldn't
be slinging binaries around to the world if you can avoid it.
An mail-based archive server should be attached to it too.

I will vote NO if these two requirements are not met and will
encourage others to do likewise.  The last thing we need is
a binaries group without a well-run archive site to back it up.
