Another non-security angle: doesn't computer science also face a kind of replicability crisis related to the ability to acquire and compile source code associated with some published papers? Reproducible builds directly address that. And it seems like even when that problem is resolved for the empirical component of computer science, bit-identical reproducibility could be valuable in case binaries are never submitted or distributed. This NixOS release is in a way a benchmark for how far we can currently get on a 'useful' system with that kind of reproducibility.
