what should bootstrap *really* do?

    I'd rather keep `bootstrap' simple for end users (i.e., have it
    proceed from the point in which it stopped, for whatever reason) and
    create alternate rules for developers.

I disagree that's "simple"!  It leaves a serious risk of something changed
in the middle and the bootstrap not being restarted.
