I don't need to quote anything to think that:

- Providing a user tool to fetch a tarball
- Displaying a direct link to a tarball in our UI

... have the same "steer users" effect.=20=20

Feel free to disagree, however when doubt emerges about FSDG compliance,
a consensus needs to be reached on <gnu-linux-libre@nongnu.org>.  If you
want your change to be included in Guix, please start a discussion on
that mailing list explaining what you are proposing and ask if other
people thinks this is OK in regards of the FSDG.
