#1 Please give me some arguments as to why it's an unnecessary requirement. 
Without arguments, it's going to fail to pass the committee.  With arguments it
may or may not pass but at least it'll be considered.

#2 Given your relation with upstream on Mozilla we could use the snapshot method
from #3 or the unwritten sources-only-in-srpm policy.  Let me know which one
would be preferable.

#3 I thought was taken care of in the rules for snapshots.  However, I'm unable
to find any snapshot guidelines on the wiki.  Looks like it's been an
undocumented guideline passed down on the mailing lists.  Basically, you have to
give the commands to generate the source tarball from the repo in a comment or
provide a script which can generate the tarball.  Snapshots also use a date in
the release tag which you may or may not like.

I'll write up the snapshot guideline and propose it since this is something that
we've been doing for a while.  Let me know if I need to put my head together
with jeremy and expedite the "sources only in srpm" policy as well.
