Reproducibility is a nice-to-have, when open source is often missing basic table stakes like correct functioning.

F-Droid in particular a) requires users to manually confirm updates, because they haven't implemented the new API that'd let them update apps silently b) used to throw errors when doing so, so each update turned into a minute of fiddling.
