While we are at it, I was always wondering about reproducible builds. From
what I understand RHEL is not reproducible, otherwise most packages of
CentOS should be identical with the RedHat packages, right?

Wouldn't it be a security improvement if RHEL builds were 100%
reproducible? Or do I miss something here?
