It's also Friday right after Thanksgiving, "Black Friday". And most
python modules .spec files, which use pypi.org as their source
repository rathter than github, seem to be workin.

Directly referencing github is sometimes useful, for example for
anyone who bothers to straighten the somewhat crazed renaming of
"ansible" and ansible-core" as "ansible-core" and
"ansible-collections, or who works with ansible colleciton modules.
But how much of github references use 'codeload.github.com' rather
than 'github.com' ?There hae been way, way too many syntaxes for
pulling tarballs for git repos, it's sometimes quite confusing.
Especially for python modules, since the e python repo owner can
delete and replace arbitrary tags at whim.
