Sorry, I picking on it, I know that most of distributions do so, but
that is unfortunate practice against the nature of Emacs as application,
since Emacs comes with sources as fully modifiable and extendable
editor. 

I understand it is ortogonal to any multiuser server sysadmin who would
prefer to save drive and have one copy of sources, but I think sources
should be installed somewhere where users can modiry their own copy.
