You've now heard *a lot* of people say that they don't want this deleted: that it's a useful test that they want to keep using. Why do you propose to delete it given that?

Who? Most people I've read the messages of, believed that disable-bootstrap would have been deleted tout court, without providing a way of building a non-self-built GCC.

Anyway, let's suspend this discussion for a while until I've applied the patches that bring more similarity to the old system, e.g. PR 25670.
