I'm willing to bet 99.9999% of users don't build from sources and take the binaries. Of course it's important to have the sources available but in all practical terms most users will never use them.
users don't use source distributions but downstream developers and packagers do. this is open source. cutting source releases means that the source for a release will always be available. - robert
