I see, I actually liked the idea (once I found some packages there!),
but I guess people might get the wrong package if they use yumdownloader
--source and an alt package has a higher version?

Ah, I was looking at the wrong git with kernel-aarch64 a few days ago
then. Thanks for pointing there.

Would be nice eventually, so folks like me won't need to ask ; thank you
