There is no need to bootstrap after every cvs update...

In an ideal world, it'd be nice if each change were to be known not to
break bootstrapping. But the fact is, most patches do not break it
[1], and the ones that do are usually detected quite fast, so it is a
waste of resources to require everyone to bootstrap before each commit
[2].
[1] Some changes (configure, makefiles, autoloads, etc.) are more
likely than others; we're hit such a spot right now :(
[2] Bear in mind that tiny, apparently trivial changes can break it:
there's no complexity threshold below which a change is totally safe.
