This is a throwback to HTTPD where a source distribution made more
sense because of platform issues. 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.
No they don't. They check things out of SVN and create vendor
branches. I don't know a single tools vendor who doesn't use SCM of
the tool they are integrating.
this is open source. cutting source releases means that the source
for a
release will always be available.
