That’s a simplistic view. A lot of projects are branched, forked, split, merged, renamed, rebased and rehosted to death, you do not have any single authoritative upstream git repository to track, any package update can imply switching to a new upstream repository source. Releases as in “snapshot of upstream code state” have not vanished at all, nor been deprecated in favour of clean regular tags in a single authoritative long-term upstream repo that could be imported and completed in a Fedora-side fork. What happened is that the thing you need to snapshot before starting the packaging has become a lot more transient and mutating.
