Looks good from the brief glance I took, but I strongly feel this whole thing
should be a "good practises" recommendation and not a requirement.  If you're
trying to prevent against "bad" RPMs, well you're not going to do that if there
are exceptions... Even for a good SRPM, someone could simply fork an open source
project, not have a repo other than the SRPM, and distribute whatever code they
want that way in extras, theoretically.  This has no bearing on the actual
packaging or quality of RPMs.  It's only redeeming quality is that it might
potentially help with automated verification of upstream sources, but that does
not exist right now and that potential benefit should be enough to convince most
packagers to do this.  There's simply no reason to make it a hard requirement
IMO other than because it's always been that way (which is no real reason).
