If you hide parts of the distribution, then for minor releases (e.g.  
3.3.1) it would perhaps make sense to put the main tarball in a
subdirectory with the main diffs at toplevel instead, to encourage people
to use the diffs if they already have the previous release rather than
downloading the whole new tarball, if the aim is to save bandwidth.
