On the contrary: The file versioning and locations are 100% knowable
and predictable in advance. This has been the point I've been trying to
get across this entire time.

Yes, git://linux-libre.fsfla.org/releases.git which carries tagged
releases, scripts, and logs. As you can see it goes all the way back to
2.6.21.
The primary motivation for the creation of this git repository was
actually for Guix, as a solution to the feedback from the tarballs
being removed due to the lack of disk space, but it appears that it is
not being used.
