Huh, I never knew these existed. Did any major projects on github use this feature?

  The HTML5Boilerplate.com project has a big fat button on their site that is a link to a download on their GitHub repo.

    They're not removing downloads, only the uploads that can't be generated from the repo itself. You can still provide downloads that work just a a .zip of the repo contents.

    That's using the zips github generates for every repo, not the downloads section of the repo.

    At least for tornado, it can be entirely replaced by: https://github.com/facebook/tornado/tags https://github.com/facebook/tornado/tags. Each tag automatically generates a zip/tarball.
