I am not aware of such a preference, do you have a source?

Switching to git repositories in one method to build from source, but 
there exist other methods too that keep the official distribution 
method, e.g. (for-each delete-file '("configure" ...)) in a snippet. 
It's a method to a goal, but not a goal on itself as far as I'm aware.
