That is just moving the pea, and it means there is now an external activity that committers must understand and someone has to maintain when there are updates, security patches, etc., to the dependencies. It also raises provenance issues. (I note that none of the sources have hashes or signatures already, or else I missed them, and they include a variety of .exe files.)
