FWIW, this was also my motivation for making this change. It's just
incredibly convenient to be able to do this without installing
third-party dependencies.
Further, it also makes testing out new changes very easy. For example, I
wanted to try out the overhauled LaTeX preview system that was proposed
for Org mode [1]. Rather than having to clone the respective repo and
check out the branch manually, this was just a
(use-package org
:vc (:url "https://git.tecosaur.net/tec/org-mode.git" :branch "dev"))
away, which is certainly a win in my book.
