True. But on the other hand, the fact that we use
<pkg>-<version>.tar.gz by default has always confused newcomers a bit,
and with .tar.xz becoming more and more adopted, having .tar.gz as the
default is less obvious than it used to be.

Well, yes, but that's specifically the issue I raised: since you don't
specify the full URL, there's no way for the package to download
patches or other stuff from other places than <pkg>_SITE.
