The frameworks in RB are closed and bugs are sometimes allowed to

If they were open then it would not be an issue as a developer
could submit a bug report and a fix and fix it for themselves and
move on.
But they can't so bug fixing needs to take a higher priority than
it might for a tool like the PowerPlant frameworks.
Whilst the RB frameworks are (AFAIK) largely written in C++, it
would still be very useful to have access to them.
Access to framework source is the kind of thing that WOULD prompt
me to pay for Developer membership.
Absolutely !
I'd renew mine without hesitation
I suspect that the overhead of having to publish the frameworks and
build instructions would pay off for RS VERY quickly in terms of
contributed patches, especially if it was filtered by being part of
a developer program (nothing stops them directly offering free
developer program membership to selected community members, before
someone starts bleating about cost barriers).
Hmm, OK, so that's prompted me to start lobbying them
