Description
It would be great if you could publish the binaries to GitHub Releases too like this:
https://github.com/cataggar/rustup/releases/tag/1.29.0
It makes it convenient to download particular versions manually. It also allows automation from tools that integrate with GitHub Releases like ghr, so that this would be possible any any platform without curl:
ghr install rust-lang/rustup
rustup-init -y

Done means users can manually download particular versions and automation tools such as ghr can retrieve the binaries.
