In a press kit, I'm less keen to make the vector file available. In
part, we risk having messed-up, off-style versions of the logo
circulating if people who don't know adequately how to deal with vectors
download and attempt to use it. If we have a high resolution bitmap
available, I suspect that'll be good enough for most applications. If
someone really needs the vector file for some specific purpose, they can
always make use of the information on the contact page to ask whether
it's possible to get it.
