What else is there to ask for if that is not a lot?
As for FIRST releasing the data, including code to the public, please don't hold your breath. The software is [partially] developed for FIRST under contract with 3rd party developers, I would not bet FIRST would just hand over something they paid to have created.
Also one of the other major issues is providing support. Much of the field is not just plug and play and go smoothly, as much as it appears to be. FIRST does not have the man power nor resources to support each person who would have issues if they did release hardware and software to the public.
