They could use a tarball as long as they're only tweaking existing C or C++ code, but if they're adding new code or modifying something that's used to generate other source. they're just like people building from Git.

So to conclude we should build everyting from source and platforms that do not support the tools would have to build from tarballs with the generated sources?
