But those recipes were only those where I wasn't able to find the source
at all (even with google help and couple of popular premirrors). Any
origin for source was fine for me, because I was only interested in
checksum check.

More likely those who were building those before are still building
OK, because they had it in theirs downloads dir. (but the second part is
right :/).

We can improve it also by putting those missing upstream files to
sources.openembedded.org and use it as premirror. But first we hav to
find someone who still have it in downloads dir :/ (I don't).

Removing recipes would need to remove those also from tasks/images and
in the end release images could miss some important functionaly in worst
case.
