One possible point to convince upstream may be “Please provide the
source archive at a URL to the specific version I retrieve, that will
continue to get the same version when users go there again after you
release a new version. The way this is normally done is to name each
version's archive with the version in the name (‘foo-1.2.3.tar.gz’), and
leave them all in the same directory on the server.”
