Note: What I wrote might sound like I want to stick to tarballs forever. That is not the case, I only would prefer something where all vendor modifications are clearly separated from the sources upstream released (which was the case for the kernel.spec until a few days ago). IOW: I'm totally fine if RPM and/or Dist-Git learn to understand source URLs that download sources from a signed tag somehow (say: "Source0: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/snapshot/linux-5.7-rc1.tar.gz"; – which is a bad example, as that is a tarball again, but you get the idea).
