Of course it is feasible and would make an excellent base for nearly endless strategy gaming goodness. Just look what the people of this community did with semi-hardcoded, undocumented, occasionally poorly interfaced game engine such as MTW, I can just image what these people would do with a toolkit built from the grounds up to support the modding community and amateur gaming developers.
I was under the impression that the RTW engine would be closer to that than what it now appears to be but creating and publishing a good SDK or toolset is a complex task and requires an investment and commitment from the developers. I can see why a publisher can chose to not completely open their engine, creating an expansion or two and moving on to the next title without the hassle of officially supporting a demanding crowd of modders.
