There have been reports of people saving seeds from older varieties of hybrids that have grown true in subsequent years, but I think you're right that not too many people will try. These would be stabilized hybrids (and now open pollinated), but the seed companies certainly aren't going to change their labeling...
Then there are hybrids many people have tried to de-hybridize over several years with no luck in getting anything that resembles the original enough. Sungold seems to be the one with the most attempts among T'ville members.
