The approach is useless however, until these simple fixes are applied to the tarballs (preferably through the versioning system).
How do you decide what things have to be fixed in old tarballs ? Do you test each old tarballs every now and then and apply the corresponding patches to them ?
What if patching the old tarball cause other regressions ?
What if someone wants to use an old tarball in an old system that would be broken because of this patching ? You would have to maintain a lot of old tarballs version...
I don't think it is feasible.
