Rich, |

Gentoo had this discussion before. The outcome was that |
13 |
vanilla-sources is just as Linus intended. |
14 |
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 |
17 |
git or tar. |

I agree git or a tarball of vanilla-sources is faster and more |
20 |
efficient but that's not a reason to drop it. |
21 |
By the same argument we could drop linux-firmware too. |
22 |
There are probably other packages that only install whatever |
23 |
they fetch. Could they be dropped? |
