My personal opion is that packing the executables as part of the
official distribution is a bad idea.  If somebody needs to squeeze the
last bit of space for some reason, they should be the one to do the EXE
compression.

As I see it EXE packing just adds one additional layer of possible
incompatiblity.  With the maturity of most packers it's probably not a
big issue, but it's a possible one.

I'm just a user, so it is not a significan impact on me, but that is my
personal feeling.
