Given the level of interest on this list regarding the probably mythical Indian
super pepper I would say that there would certainly be lots of buyers. I think it
would be an interesting acid test making chile-heads choose between growing 'the
hottest pepper in the world' and avoiding GMOs like the plague.

You are right of course that its unlikely to be commercially viable.
