which is baffling to me, because i think bootstrapping is one of the more 
interesting parts of compiler development.

i had the same experience with the Idris2: i made a full bootstrap chain all 
the way down from GHC, integrated bootstrapping into the normal build process 
so that bootstrapping remains constantly tested, and also prepared the Guix 
side... but then my PR was basically ignored.
