i did look into this before writing the post. there's a fossil-users mailing list post by Isaac Jurado where he reported that importing Django took ~20 minutes and importing glibc on a 16GB machine had to be interrupted after a couple of hours. he explicitly warned against trying the linux kernel. the largest documented import on the fossil site itself was NetBSD pkgsrc (~550MB) which already showed scaling issues. so "never did" is fair - not because anyone tried and failed, but because it was known to be impractical and explicitly discouraged.
