Except that, in the real world, this is actually completely
infeasible. Yes, I know it's the basic tenant of OSS that you can
modify the program to do whatever you want. But in reality, something
like GHC is far too large and complex for this to be a realistic
possibility. And this holds for most other nontrivial software too.

Fair enough, but if one can't do better one's self then one should be
careful about calling the work of others "dumb", which was the original
point.
Cheers,
