whats the point of it? so you can drop bower in the future and grab the files directly manually?

Literally no idea myself. I think we should remove it.

It's not needed in bower.json. It is needed in two closely related documents, however:

  • .bower.json within an installed package when the package was installed by URL.
  • The new registry server metadata is essentially bower.json with some extra fields.

So no, it shouldn't be in the spec but I can see how it got there.
