I'm a few thousand emails back on python-dev, but:

> Meanwhile, there are some large companies that use 2.7 extensively on Windows (e.g. Enthought, Anaconda) and the thinking goes that somebody can probably be found to produce a Windows installer once in awhile, assuming that Python.org will still host a download.

Note that 2.6 had no installers released beyond 2.6.6 (2.6.9 was the eventual last release), so there's a precedent for source-only releases if nobody does want to provide Windows/OS X installers.
