I'm not sure about that, if we could establish the binaries could be
reproducibly built using the current bootstrap binaries it sounds like it could
be fine. Having reproducible bootstrap binaries seems like something incredibly
useful especially for packagers that for whatever reason want to verify that the
binaries can be built with Guix before signing them.
