I agree, it wouldn't be much effort to release the CD version complete with a Linux installer. I think the problem, though, is that the Linux installer wasn't ready when the game went gold. IIRC, id didn't expect to have Linux installer ready for a couple of weeks after Q4 went on sale, but ended up making much faster progress than expected.
I'm sure they take the stance of "Windows first, then get Linux going." So the question is whether they'll delay release just for including the Linux client. Given how crazy developers are just getting the Windows version to go gold, I don't see them holding off for Linux, not yet anyway.
