The nice thing about the source RPMs is that they are internally signed
(in contrast to an external signature in *.asc for tarballs). Personally
I don't find them useful either, but some people may think otherwise and
I'm not sure they will raise their voice here. We could just stop
creating source RPMs and wait if anyone complains. Or we could be a
little bit more conservative and just move them to a subdirectory
perhaps. I don't mind either way.
