No, it's just that my distribution, Gentoo, only has the option of a stale snapshot from months ago or a live build that just pulls git head. In general, I just like stable software to have tagged releases, so distributions can ship the same stuff. The maintainer of mcelog, for example, doesn't tag releases, and expects distributions to just grab whatever's there the day they package, so there's really no continuity between distributions as far as what you end up with. There doesn't even need to be a tarball packaged or anything, just a simple tag in git identifying a "release" so distributions can package it.
