Because the rib ends are open to the inside of the wing after covering I suspect
there is some concern that debris created during fabric riveting or later repair
will find there way inside the wing. Any debris would likely, due to flexing
and vibration find its way between the structure and fabric. I guess each
builder would have to decide which is the bigger risk, moisture or debris. Perhaps
covering the ends with something porous such as fine nylon mesh would work.

I use high pressure air to blow out pop rivet mandrel ends
and drill chips. This usually cleans them up pretty good.
I remember the first wings I built I did not do that. Ended
up with this debris wondering around loose inside the wing.

I believe the reason for caulking the rib tube ends is to prevent rivet
hole drillings& chips and rivet ball ends from vibrating down to the
leading edge of the wing where they get stuck between the fabric and
leading edge tube.They will eventually cut through the fabric. Drilling
the holes before covering with the fabric will make this unnecessary
