No, a reader did not understood what you are talking about.
Quite frankly, you're not being constructive here Khem. Assuming
that I'm confusing things because we have differences in
opinions, and that it doesn't matter that I don't understand what
you are saying as long as you think that other people do is not
very helpful. What's the point in discussing anything with you?

Yes, Paul's suggestion was very constructive (thanks!), and
that's something we might do. But it still forces us to deal with
sha1 revision ids. Would require effort on our part to hide this
from our users and automate it somehow. Some issues that we would
like to handle:

 - changing PV won't have any effect on what source is fetched/used
 - changing SRCREV to another revision won't affect PV
