Personally, I think there is value in Daniel's work on bootstrapping Debian from other operating systems and Helmut's work on bootstrapping Debian from existing Debian architectures. Both are important projects and we need Debian and FLOSS in general to be more bootstrappable than it is now, just like the Reproducible Builds folks made everything more reproducible. At some point I'd even like to see Debian bootstrapped from whatever comes out of the the Bootstrappable Builds project: https://bootstrappable.org/ -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
