Can you also offer a Zip package? (portable)

Why only this MSI package?

See speps answer here - msi allows direct zip extraction:

Why should the user do that? The project should do it with an automatic build script.

Every open source project worth mentioning releases also portable ZIP packages of the software. Mozilla's Servo windows builds get released only as MSI - why?

(BTW their win builds were available already for many months, just not linked from the frontpage, see bug tracker for more info)

Shouldn't be too bad - we already build the zip and would just need to upload it, too! https://github.com/servo/servo/issues/16437

Thanks for the fast response and for creating the Github issue!
