Great idea! That way nobody will be able to try to reproduce your particular problem unless you give the exhaustive list of what exact branches of each piece of relevant software is on your system. That will certainly boost QA productivity sky-high...

But you can trivially automate both the process of giving a list of the exact versions of each piece of software, and the process of building a filesystem that precisely corresponds to such a list.
Currently it's even worse because most distributions, due to their ancient packages and not including all software, force users to install some software on their own, sometimes in a way that isn't tracked by the package manager, which means you can't even produce the list at all.
