The name of the tarball which is to be downloaded probably should contain something like a version of the library. This means that if a thorn gets updated (because of an updated version for example), old checkouts of the thorn would still try to access the old version - which means we would need to keep it around forever. Do we want this? This is not a rhetorical question, the answer might as well be "yes".
In my opinion, the answer is "yes" since otherwise it would be impossible to guarantee reproducibility.
