Please keep in mind that there are a lot of CI driven build environments out
there (like in my case) where no git cache environment is available, thus
packages are always freshly downloaded. Therefore the direct archive download -
rather than doing a full fledged git clone on each run - resulted in
significantly smaller (i.e faster) downloads and thus faster CI build-times.
