That's a really good answer if you want developrs to feel that they
are being taken seriously.....

Do you think there is a fundamental problem with people being able to get
the sources easilly? Is yum fundamentally flawed for this? Is it too much
work to put in yum?

We might appreciate decisions better if we know why they are made in a
certain way.
