@khinsen Other than that, I sympathize with the sentiment of @soupglasses: it seems to be a corporate-backed project, solving the security problems of companies in a spirit quite different from that of the #bootstrapping work that enables it.
It is good that companies understand the value of this work, but disappointing that they’re (again) freeriding on volunteer work and sweeping its empowerment message under the carpet.
@khinsen It is another way to build “full-source bootstrap” similar to what @janneke et al. did in #Guix and what @stikonas et al. did with live-bootstrap.
Technically, it reuses stage0, M2-Planet, Mes/MesCC, and kaem as developed by these fine people:

I suspect the dependency graph is close if not identical to that of live-bootstrap (the one of Guix has more Scheme in it 😄 among other things).
