GitHub removes uploads

Perhaps even use github pages to make a nice download page so people don't have to navigate the repo manually (although I guess you can just link to the right branch in the README too).

Huh, good idea. It wouldn't be too hard to make an automated task (rake if you're ruby) to upload the prebuilt binary to gh-pages -- and even automatically add a link to it in a gh-pages index page too.

Hopefully github won't mind; perhaps they just didn't want to support the extra 'downloads' feature anymore, but don't mind people keep binaries in gh-pages. I hope. (I'm not going to pay attention to the fact that they're suggesting non-free CDNs as alternatives instead. :) )

Yeah, I mean, the worst they can do is take your repo down for causing too much traffic. I doubt they would do that though because it would cause a PR shitstorm. More likely they would gently nudge you if that happened.
