Just because I can't spell misanthrope doesn't mean I'm completely stupid.

Strainhunter's Seedbank? Selling more unstable polys. Who could have predicted that?!?!?
Useful breeding stock is likely to be heirloom local cultivars that are reasonably stable and are similar to but have been put under greater selective pressure than landraces. 90% will be Central Asian or Southeast Asian. They will generally not be as potent as typical modern selected cuts from a poly, but unlike those can actually usefully be worked with. Some of the Afghani cultivars survived the Western marketplace more or less unscathed for a while under various names but the whole range of potent sativas is simply impractical for either indoor or temperate climate cultivation so there was no market for them--or preserving them. I assume these will be most sought after.
I also assume the big pharma players have nice seed libraries laid in. Cannabis produces so much seed though that releasing a stable cultivar as viable seed negates whatever exclusivity it might bestow on its owner, so we're basically looking at whatever non-profit motivated open source seed sharing community as the only hope. If such a community actually even exists at all in viable form. One hopes it does. Most seed business has been fast talking hucksters selling name of the months to cash croppers with little criteria beyond yield and saleability.

I just have a problem with breeding a horse with a donkey and getting a sterile mule though they have advantage plowing that pasture.
What you lose in the breeding you can't recover. Perhaps there is a CBD higher in Ruderalis but your not getting the THC potency with auto flowering. So its exchange of ease for potency. Perhaps one day but there is no high potency ruderalis mixed auto flowering yet.
I'm ready to be corrected if I'm wrong?

I have all kinds of seeds going back years. Started saving in 1973 . Stored in wall of closet in plastic bag for years. Those I learned to grow on lasted to 1984? Skunk showed up in 1983 San Antonio.
Got 5 seeds from there.
Most of the seeds dried up and didn't "pop"
started new collection 1990? still in fridge frozen..
No room or time to experiment on them.
Space.
Going to go with Kosher Kush next year.

Don't forget that lots of the landraces out there aren't that great - you really only hear about the ones that are!
..... crossing the not-so-great landraces with a select, potent, modern day hybrid might not be such a bad idea.
