CCP, it would be wonderful if blueprint copies could be "repackaged" and made stackable.

It would require making new id codes for every blueprint multiplied by every possible state.

Which is 121 times max runs, that's a lot. And it's for every blueprint.

That's a lot but a 64 bit integer could handle it.

However you could limit it to max run copies.
Or just remove the runs from copies, so you would have a stack of 1 run copies instead of a multiple run copy. But then there would be other things you would have to think about.
A new system where you can merge and split blueprint copies would also be a possibility.

Legacy Code. Just be grateful you have different colours for BPOs and BPCs nowadays.

Because the Legacy Code has too much Psssssssssssssssh, nothing will ever get fixed until CCP stop wasting money on failed sparkle MMOs and instead rewrite the entire backend of EvE from scratch.

Most of them have different stats, without changing the id name to be different for each stat level stacking them would be impractical as you would have a stack of items with different stats (Also I don't believe that is possible with eve's code, and why should it be anyway). Repackaging an item, as far as I know, removes the items personal id (and information connected to that exact item) and replaces it with a group id(The id of the item in question) and a quantity, that then allows the item to be stacked by changing the quantity number. So if you could repackage a bpc it would result in removing all it's stats such as the ME and TE.
