With "Avro uses a single source repository for all implementations " you
mean for both Python 2 and Python 3? Well, this is the common case :-)
Any other packages do have this and we never use a separate definition
for source or version. Please have a look at e.g. python-graphql-relay
(picked as example at random).

Please add, why this is a problem. If Ivy is not yet pacakges, I suggest
adding something like "TODO: enable if Apache Ivy is packaged".
