Patches should never be in the lookaside cache, because it is very difficult to view them. Patches in git can easily be glanced at in gitweb. The lookaside cache is only really viewable by cloning the package and doing a 'fedpkg prep'. Putting patches in the lookaside cache is essentially hiding them, and that's poor behavior in an open-source project.
