Provided that xx is posted first in executable format and source for
as many machines as possible, I really can't see it makes any difference
that xx is used rather than uu.  Obviously you have the problem of
how to distribute xx but I would suggest that it should be the one and
only set of files distributed as uu.
Whatever you do, *please* don't mix them!  I get confused enough as it
is :-)
