The FOSSY conference included a session on bootstrappable builds and their role in software supply-chain security.
The material is too thin to assess practical impact. Bootstrappable builds are a niche but critical requirement for verifiable, self-hosting toolchains. Without corroborating detail, the note cannot say how widely the session’s conclusions apply or what concrete changes it proposes.
