On other side, for example BSD has very special view on current world (plan9), far from ideal, GNU Hurd was unsuccessful, etc.
What I want to say - if you are capable to make your implementation of idea better then original, you should make your implementation.
Even if you could resurrect good idea with pirate practices, it also could be beneficial for community, because somebody could take a look and make own implementation.
I know at least one example, when drunk guy written algorithm (as I remember, procedural world generation for game on Nintendo), which current scholars could not understand, and it's near to lost.
Yes, this is thin ice, but I think nobody could suggest something better in your case.
(also, when is markwhen on Obsidian? I can't wait to use it for my TTRPG world building!)
