This seems a little premature don't you think? The source parameter is important for marketing applications as well as gauging popularity - OAuth is both still in beta and unsupported by many clients/ applications. I've just started developing a Twitter app using python-twitter that is to run on Google AppEngine, but it will be some time after the next release before we have OAuth support (and even then it's dependent on a "major overhaul of the HTTP layer")[1].
