/putting on asbestos pants.

each release is more complex than the last. The web of dependency grows,
so the reverse-engineering takes longer and longer.

Perhaps the tact to take is to apply pressure to the upstream provider
to release the build details? I am sure that many folks who start with
CentOS, grow to be large and move to RH proper. So there is, I would
venture, an argument to be made that RH providing this info to CentOS
and helping CentOS thrive would be beneficial for their business.
