Has anyone considered decompilation (producing sources from binaries)
as a way of archiving system or application software that is defunct?
I know lots of people have disassembled ROM listings and created
commented ASM listings from the ROM, but what about larger systems
where hand-disassembly is impractical?

Nothing in particular, I suppose. But if I wanted to study RT-11 in
detail, hand disassembling it would be a major undertaking.
