Why cannot we have the sources in the image? When I asked it 2 years ago people were like: "oh, but you can just download 1 sources file and use it by all the images". I don’t care about that micro space savings, but fine, I said: have it your way. Now as we have to download sources all the time, why cannot we just have it IN the image?
