So please, propose your usage case. Don't tell us which commands you expect
to be working, tell us of your workflow and why you think it's broken by the
new system. Probably it's just a misunderstanding, since there are no real
features that are being lost with the new system (while many bugs and
annoyances are/will be fixed): it's just about learning how to reproduce
your workflow in the new system.
And fixing bugs. I don't pretend the system as it is now is *perfect*,
that's the very reason why --disable-bootstrap still supports bootstrap.
