BIND source distribution missing?

Hi ISC!

I'm writing to let you know there seems to be a bug on the ISC web site.
Coming from MacOS Chrome, I'm only being offered the binary Windows
distribution of BIND for download from <https://www.isc.org/downloads/> and
from <https://www.isc.org/downloads/bind/>.

Browser-detection bug aside.. I think only offering only the binary version
to *anyone* is a mistake.  Regardless of what platform I'm using to
download BIND, I may be deploying it to any number of different places.  It
shouldn't matter what browser I'm using at all, or what my desktop OS is, I
should be able to easily access *all* (current) distributions... not just
the one you think matches the browser I'm using.  So, please dump the
browser detection entirely, and just offer me all the distributions.

Also, <ftp://ftp.isc.org> needs an update to its 'welcome' file, because
BIND doesn't seem to be distributed from there anymore.

Thanks!
   Matt
