And while that concept certainly has its merits, it runs counter to
the guiding principles of some software distributions which want to
guarantee rebuildability with only tools and components present
within that distribution, the ability to backport critical fixes to
otherwise frozen contemporary versions of the software which may not
fit with the upstream maintainers' release and support policies, the
ability to prove reproducibility of builds, to be able to confirm
that the binaries shipped were actually built from the source code
upstream claimed, and so on.
