Yes, we can avoid file names with 40-character-hash.
The only difference is the filename length instead we have: audacity-dea351aa4820efd7ce8c2254930f942a6590472b.tar.gz we will have a filename much shorter: audacity-dea351a.tar.gz
The content of tar.gz is exactly the same and the rest of spec doesn't change. This suggestion was inspired on [1].
Sergio, I was kind of joking with my comment, I don't particularly like them either. ;-)
I don't have a problem with all doing that, the full hash can be extracted from the tar file if one so desires. I updated the draft, the one thing I changed from your example was I added a #/ to make it clear it was a renaming.
