I understand why you're doing it. I'm telling you that it won't work.
It requires way too much labor.
Anyway, the plank isn't even clearly drafted. Do I have to make a
snapshot of my hard drive in case future creators need to figure out
how my OS supported the software that interpreted the source file?
How about my CPU, don't I have some obligation to make that available?
Not that I'm completely against what you're working on, just that I
think this part of if it is broken.
