The reason to release them at all is to comply with the GPL. Such
encumbrances would thwart that compliance.

The only problem with my suggestion, I think, is the one John Lauro
has identified: the latency for obtaining updates. Just how long can
one take responding to a request for source before being in violation
of the GPL, I wonder?

Of course, Red Hat could make everything simple just by tagging the
git repository for each release and update. I estimate the probability
of that event as zero.
