¿Can the NVIDIA's PhysX and Flow open source code contribute to drastically improve the physics engine of Enfusion in DayZ?

¿DO YOU THINK THE RELEASE OF NVIDIA's PHYSX AND FLOW OPEN-SOURCE CODE CAN CONTRIBUTE TO DRASTICALLY IMPROVE THE PHYSICS ENGINE OF ENFUSION ENGINE FOR DAYZ?

I hate that this game doesn't have gore like dismemberments, Dead Island 2 has an amazing engine in that aspect, in terms of breaking glass, or when you hit a zombie it swings or gets half stunned by a kick, I think Dead Island 2's melee design is almost perfect, especially the kick to push the infected out of the way.

In DayZ running over an infected with a vehicle feels like playing Gess Who? Where you knock over a token instead of running over a human, there's no real physics, it feels horrible.

The environment has no destructible elements with physics. e.g. fences that break, poles that fall down if you collide with them, being able to drag the body of a dead animal with a rope to a truck, or a slab of ice that can break if you step on it while carrying a lot of weight on your back or if two or three players step on it at the same time it breaks.

I've said the basics, but a decent physics engine can open the door to some very interesting things, the problem is that DayZ fails in that aspect. At the beginning the physics don't have to be mind-blowing in everything, but so be implementing basic improvements to make the game feel more real and fun, the ragdoll for example is essential, it's fucked up that in that respect DayZ feels like a playstation 1 game.

¿Do you think the release of this code could change things and implement it in Enfusion?

"The environment has no destructible elements with physics" - false statement. It's just turned off and some mods re-enable it so you can destroy trees with heavy vehicles.
Years ago it was possible to break down simple fences etc., devs were even showcasing pushing tables with cars and so on.

And it was inherited from ARMA, where in DayZ mod you were able to take down entire house and turn it into ruins.

Also we had ragdolls, volumetric clouds but everything was scrapped due to performance issues.
