rebuilding RHEL src rpms under RHEL, it should be made public and either fixed or acknowleged as the intended outcome.

Off topic here as to what RHEL and its vendor should or should not do, Les.

OK, I'll rephrase. What they do do should be made public.

And 'self-hosting' has NEVER been a goal of the upstream's full product line [and indeed cannot be, as parts of it include binary blobs for which sources are not released]

And yet, there are probably people who believe that RH releases sources that can be rebuilt to usable binaries and make decisions based on that.
