Thomas,

One criterion currently for inclusion is: "In this section we list a 
number of the binary distributions of GDAL all of which should have 
fully reproducible open source build recipes."

I've not evaluated what the current situation of OSGeo4W or gisinternals 
is regarding this, especially regarding all direct and indirect 
dependencies of GDAL (or course, that must stop at the compiler level 
when using Visual Studio). I believe nowadays OSGeo4W must be closer to 
that aim of having fully reproducible builds, but I'm not sure to which 
extent. For gisinternals I'm not sure. It was my impression that the 
build recipees for the dependencies were not available, but maybe I'm 
wrong. I'll let the developers of those distributions comment further if 
they wish.
