As I said multiple times, *of course* bootstrapping will *never* be

You've now heard *a lot* of people say that they don't want this deleted:
that it's a useful test that they want to keep using. Why do you propose
to delete it given that?
Who? Most people I've read the messages of, believed that
disable-bootstrap would have been deleted tout court, without providing
a way of building a non-self-built GCC.
Anyway, let's suspend this discussion for a while until I've applied the
patches that bring more similarity to the old system, e.g. PR 25670.
