Part of Fedora's role in the larger Free Software community is to drive
convergence and improvements in upstream projects.  This manifests in
various ways, such as getting projects onto the same shared library
versions, etc.  In this instance, if our tooling could be signinficantly
improved by using revision control instead of tarballs (and I definitely
believe that is the case) we can help move upstream.

For example in GNOME it would not be a large workflow change to make it a
hard requirement that tarball releases on ftp.gnome.org have a predictable
correspondingly named SVN (or hopefully later git) tag.
