Can we please not force bootstrap?

+1. In general bootstrap isn't "rock solid" enough to force people
into running it.

If people have problems with bootstrap (it doesn't do enough, it
assumes too much about your system, etc. etc.), please file bugs on
what's wrong.  We need to start depending more on bootstrap for
everything, to the point of "you can't depend on X unless it gets
installed via bootstrap", and we can't get to that world if we don't
know what rough edges people find in bootstrap.

Do you have a suggestion on how to do that in practice? Rolling back from a broken development environment is easily a couple of hours of work, in the case of homebrew breaking all my virtualenvs, for example.

Thanks,
