The benefits of Reproducible tarballs are a no-brainer to me.
I've been carrying and developing reproducible source tarball patches for Autotools and GNU Mes for quite some time, party courtesy of Timothy Sample.
I'm embarrassed and confused that after over 10y of Reproducible Builds, GNU and Autotools still need to get used to these ideas (and don't seem to make any progress at all).
