Changing build and bootstrap would require changes to a few packages in |
| 10 |
system, but also to catalyst. It would completely break all versions of |
| 11 |
catalyst prior to the "fixed" version for stage building. |

Basically, we'd have to support both for at least a little while until |
| 14 |
we got all of the older versions of catalyst out of use/support. I'd |
| 15 |
need to stabilize catalyst 2.x and remove 1.x, at minimum. |

It could be done, I just don't think the amount of work required for |
| 18 |
what it otherwise a cosmetic change to be worth it. |
