That's the version we use.

No - we never rely on the availability of third party sites,
especially not commercial ones. More importantly, we a) want to know
we have stable code in our tree (we don't want users running with
random versions that we may not have tested yet), and b) on very rare
occasions we may modify our copies of the code - which is always a
last resort that is documented, and where appropriate, with a patch
sent upstream.
