If the creators expect this to be something the entire community will utilize, then it's not ridiculous to expect them to make different copies, it's what they'll have to do.

This is why FIRST CAD Library is good. You may not get a native file that you can easily modify, but you'll get an accurate file that you can bring into any CAD program, whether your software is 15 years old or brand new.

Personally I don't care about the file type. I'd be happy with IGES, STEP, or Parasolid files for everything, so long as they're accurately modeled. I don't see why I'd ever want the feature tree from Solidworks, for example, of a COTS/KOP item.
