It is time for us to drop the exception in

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/SourceURL#We_are_Upstream

Insist that we use fedorahosted.org or other project hosting websites 
whenever we are upstream for a project? It certainly makes it easier for 
others to consume our bits when they don't have to crawl through source 
rpm packages. SRPM dumps are a horrible way to manage upstream source 
code anyway.
