It isn't an order.

Can you tell us why this change was required, please?

Now we know that the change is a solution in search of a problem.

The fact that they won't sign the patch tarballs anymore isn't a problem.

All that heftig must do, is to make it download the complete tarball and its 
signature.

Here you go:
https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v4.x/linux-4.17.13.tar.xz
https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v4.x/linux-4.17.13.tar.sign

This looks like a solution in search of a problem.

heftig, please tell us why the change was required.
