It is hackable in the sense that all schematics, BOMs, and Gerber files are availalble to download and modify with the By-Sa 4.0 Creative Commons license. A lack of a temperature controller doesn't seem to be a problem due to the fact that it has 5.3 Watts max output so the heat stays local to the pad being worked on. Flux is recommended for wires larger than 24 gauge and ground planes.

What's the hackability potential for adding temperature control?
Doesn't the lack of having this limit it to non-IC soldering, at least
for beginners?
