I would completely agree with you IF vault.centos.org would not (AFAIK)
also be the official source for the CentOS Source-RPMS.
Which doesn't actually make that much sense - could vault perhaps be
split up into something like the real vault and srpms.centos.org? The
last one would arguably be more useful than the vault, and not just
giving people a gun to shoot themselves with.
