Broken only for some OE use cases. Not broken for others.

The wrong solution to the problem is to replace a recipe that works for 
the people who use it with a recipe that creates untested output. U-boot 
is a fiddly piece of software, updates should be tested on hardware 
before they are pushed.

Let's keep the focus on the real issue here, disappearing sources versus 
recipes that produce untested output.

Disappearing sources are an issue beyond just rebased git repos. Distros 
that provide binaries to end users must provide for this event to 
provide GPL compliance. So it really is not a big deal.
