Archlinux base packages are now reproducible

https://fosstodon.org/@archlinux/112128262768101433

in last week's email to the reproducible-builds email list1 about reproducible Arch Linux I mentioned there's only one unreproducible package left in docker.io/library/archlinux.

Due to amazing work by dvzrv and Foxboron this package is now also reproducible!

INFO arch_repro_status > All packages are reproducible!

INFO arch_repro_status > Your system is 100.00% reproducible.

To try for yourself use:

podman run --rm -t archlinux sh -c 'pacman -Suy arch-repro-status 
--noconfirm && arch-repro-status'

This is dope, but I've been curious, what benefits are there to this? I know reproducibility can improve security by proving that the distro is delivering the packages they say they are, but is there anything else?
