I might throw some time and equipment at it if I knew I wasn't
re-inventing square wheels (or even round ones for that matter). And I
suspect that others smarter than I am would do the same and maybe even
improve the approach by coming up with ways to predict the build
environment needed to reproduce a given binary to reduce the
trial-and-error time. But I don't see this happening if the process
stays closed any more than I think there would be a useful Linux today -
or most of the packages comprising Red Hat's product - if development
had not been open and shared.
