I'd like to bump this.  I get wanting to not build them by default.  It's
still valid and useful content though and I think makes sense to have
available as an advanced off-by-default developer-enabled feature.  So I
did just that: https://github.com/ComplianceAsCode/content/pull/4923 .
Consequently the PR was promptly closed within about 20m by one of the
maintainers with nothing more than a "Nope, not gonna do that", which, tbh,
seemed like a fairly hostile way to interact with contributors.  No
discussion or explanation, just a sprinkling of nist references that don't
actually have to do with the specific issue.  The content generation used
the enable_derivatives script which already peppers the XCCDF with
applicable warnings.
