It might cause a couple of minor revelations if/when the source is finally opened

Isn't the whole post about it being opened? It's released: https://github.com/microsoft/MS-DOS

They trickle out versions over the years. This time they published version 4. The versions up to 6.22 (standalone) and ~~up to 9~~ 7-8 (part of Windows 9x-ME) are yet to be published.

Weren't versions for 95/98 7.0 and then for ME 8.0?
