But oe-core is a system for integrating software...  If you're doing lots
of work against weston, then a bbappend to change the SRC_URI to a git
repository isn't exactly hard work.

Tarballs give us much smaller downloads, the security of checksums, and the
general assurance that you're building what the maintainer expects you to
build.
