 the ZIP will also never be created.

 This makes smoke testing new releases more difficult. Personally, I like
 to tag a new version, then `wp install [slug] --version=[tag]` to test out
 the plugin before marking it as stable.

 This isn't possible, so not possible to smoke test what's offered by w.org
 and takes a bit more work to svn co or otherwise get the code from w.org
 to a new site for the sake of a final test.

 I believe this issue may also be impacted WP Packagist (which I realize
 isn't w.org), but I'm thinking they're seeing the tag either via SVN or
 API and assuming something would be built like non-confirmable plugins.
