Another point to consider: If it becomes possible to mirror the
distribution without the source RPMs, someone will do it; and if someone
does it, people will come back here and ask why there are just binaries
on a mirror and not the sources.
Brute-forcing mirrors to have the source RPMs by tying them together
with the binary RPMs is a desirable effect IMHO.
