For what it's worth, I agree with Dan.
 
I see the argument with change affecting SCM systems, but when you change 
systems you're making a specific choice to break something where history 
matters. If you're porting history, the identifier may change, but you should 
still have the released code. If you're managing things appropriately, you also 
have the binary dependencies. 
 
Bundling what amounts to a source rpm (zip in this case) for each release feels 
like a lazy, brute-force source management method. I suppose if you have the 
resources to throw at it, it can save you some headaches. Requiring it seems a 
bit strong, especially if the safety net serves as a rationalization for 
quickly migrating to the SCM du jour. That decision should still carry a 
considerable burden with it.
 
Maybe I'm missing the point?

Is this really necessary? For me as long as I have the source [1],
that is all i want.
