Nonsense. Upstream developers don't want to do development in Fedora's SCM. 
They want to do development in their own SCM, make platform-independent 
releases and then package those releases (or get them packaged) for Fedora and 
other distributions. I don't see why tarballs wouldn't be an appropriate format 
for such releases.
