My concern is about users who still have Emacs before March 2005.I forgot to mention that snapshot.debian.org also contains a copy of all earlier stable releases of Debian since ~1995.Imagine the plight of a user who needs to discover all these places just to have the sources available.
As Dima said, the same would be true for the C sources. And, for Debian at least, it's not that difficult: from https://snapshot.debian.org/binary/emacs you can easily find every binary and source file you might need. I cannot imagine a system that would be significantly simpler.
