We have a repeatable build environment at work. However we can't rebuild anything from 2017 or before anymore because the environment back then doesn't have any valid certificates to validate servers downloading artifacts from, or that the artifacts signed back then are correct. Thus our build environment fails to be repeatable for long because the old environment cannot be used or duplicated 100%.

Yes, and extending this to devices with embedded PKI, we are leaving a very poor legacy to our progeny.

Look at all the amazing work being done to maintain old computers, software and games, from the 80's, like C64, NES, PDP-11, etc...

What will our descendents be able to maintain from this period? Not much.
