Given the SCons repository move to GitHub, I would hope that all future
tarballs would have their primary location on GitHub, that Sourceforge will
just be a legacy location. In any event, even with the PyPI/pip emphasis,
installation for MacPorts, Debian, Fedora, etc. by explicit installation using
setuptools should always continue to work.
