It's actually more of a "silly Linus scripts and workflow" issue. I have some trivial scripts that generate the tarballs and patches, and I'm just so used to running them at my own machine and then uploading them to the kernel.org machines.

I should just get used to doing the work directly on kernel.org, but normally it's faster and more convenient to just do it on my own machine. And I think this is the first time I've had an internet connection that was good enough to work with, but too flaky to actually upload things with.

I'll be home in another too many hours, will fix things up then..

I suspect not a lot of people actually use the tarballs these days. It's just much more convenient to get the tree with git.
