Rich,
Gentoo had this discussion before. The outcome was that
vanilla-sources is just as Linus intended.
If Gentoo did anything to it, it wouldn't be vanilla any longer.
Yes, it should be kept. We should not force users to learn
git or tar.
I agree git or a tarball of vanilla-sources is faster and more
efficient but that's not a reason to drop it.
By the same argument we could drop linux-firmware too.
There are probably other packages that only install whatever
they fetch. Could they be dropped?
