True, but we do provide SRPMS with the sources, if we include a list of
the SRPMS with the sources, with full NEVR in the kernel rpm as doc,
wouldn't that be sufficient?
Not really. In the case of initrd-built-with-kernel, it could be packages
in the buildroot that never leave koji for release/updates, and are then
garbage collected.
