GitHub tarballs generated from tags have the same stability problems as GitHub tarballs generated from commit IDs. It's impractical to avoid them completely (because having porters generate their own static tarballs for every piece of software that doesn't provide a real static release tarball is a big ask, and also interferes with update checkers like portroach). But it's always better to convince GitHub upstreams to routinely generate a static tarball and add it as an attachment to the GitHub releases section.
