3 years is a long time for keeping the sources around if we generate them that way. It seems like we're better off in terms of space and in terms of being able to provide sources for the longer run if we can generate srpms on the fly out of cvs.
However once you choose to generate srpms on the fly out of cvs, you are also committing to using cvs for the same amount of time. Migrating the cvs component to anything else might show to have a huge tail and might just not work in the sense that the new vcs might not give you srpms with the same checksum, or <insert-favorite-unforeseen-hurdle-here>.
Besides that, generating spins off of on-the-fly generated srpms without some repository being generated might prove to be a challenge as well -remember downstream /can/ use 3c if FP does 3b, it can also use 3a if they want to.
