Licensing issues would probably prevent this from happening, I can't comment on third party code from other sources, but rather famously, Microsoft got in trouble for disk compression code in the 6.x releases and had to substitute it later on. Personally, I would like to see one of the very late PC-DOS releases freed (7.1 or so), but considering IBM's indifferent to belligerent attitude on freeing their historical software, I don't see this happening any time soon.
