Arista's EOS is open source and up to the task, it would be awesome if there was a fork of it supporting whitebox gear.

No, EOS is not even close to open source. You might be able to run cEOS on a whitebox.

EOS core code never been open source. It it is built on Fedora Linux.

They do have vEOS and cEOS offerings but there is closed source Arista code in all of them.
