Just like code, packages get added, removed or renamed. There is a short term cost of making the change and a long term cost of not making the change. On a regular basis we have to explain to casual contributors that mesa, xcdb, pixman and xkeyboard-config do not belong to X.Org. The git URL is (or was, until now) the only way to tell which package is really under X.Org. It would not be unreasonable to propose it, given there is a full release to make appropriate adjustments.
