The problem is that users are not supposed to just come and whine about
bootstrap failures. They should at least do the work of figuring out
either a patch to fix it, or to find out the commit that broke it, ...
This is a development branch: expect it to be broken,
Stefan
PS: The only problem that I would consider as really serious, even for
the development branch is a bug that risks losing data.
