Yes, I'd forgotten that but I see that that was in the first
discussion draft of GPLv3, in the clause providing the written offer
option.
A footnote in the FSF's Rationale Document accompanying GPLv3 Draft 2
says:
Responding to arguments made in several public comments, we have
decided to restore the requirement, relaxed in Draft1, that the
price of the copy of the Corresponding Source be limited to the
reasonable cost of physically performing source distribution.
