No, the idea is only that it's rearguard "enough". That is, even the
rearguard is on the march, and every announcement of the publication of
the rearguard-format tarballs has said that they're intended to be
temporary.
The next release (2019b, which should be reasonably soon) may be a good
time to skip my publication of a rearguard-format tarball. The main use
of the rearguard format seems to be last-minute updates for people using
TZUpdater and the like, and we'll almost surely have a release 2019c
before October anyway so people can update then. People who need
rearguard format tarballs before then can make them by running "make
rearguard_tarballs".
