    Has tl switched to a policy of downloading binaries, even on linux
    systems?  

We have not switched policies.  We have always provided precompiled
binaries, and we have always provided sources.  The TeX Live installer
has always installed the precompiled binaries.

    Do I have a choice?

Of course.
