Based on the first four comments, I see some do not appreciate this unlike me, at least. Just last-night, I was forced to download a zipped folder with source code from a site I was new to. Well, I did appreciate using this new feature because I wasn't sure what I of the 'trustworthiness' of the folder.

It is the same approach to defend off phishing attacks in large corporations: shift the responsibility to the user.

In my opinion, this is just another scream for codified capabilities. Which would be a real solution and not just repeatedly a click away from disaster.

If I had to download source in zip format I probably wouldn't touch it outside a VM.

I don't think a ZIP is that much different from a random Git repo...
