"Works on my machine" - a colleague's mug from back in the day. He was just being funny, but there's a bit of truth in every joke. Reproducibility was only occasionally a top concern for developers, and then github and other CI tools came along to offload that concern all together. Perhaps with the growing threat maintainers will start to care again. Github should just turn off publishing capabilities and force them to care.
