Stripping these files from source distributions makes it difficult to, e.g., apply the diff between backports-release-1.x and release-1.x branches to release-1.x source distributions. (Parts of the diff that touch the stripped files must themselves be stripped, which can be done with e.g. filterdiff but not reliably.)
I guess that once this patch lands on master, the change will immediately propagate to the -latest source distributions, but will need to be backported to release-1.x branches to take effect there?
Best!
