I assumed something like that, that's the reason why I wrote "1 
bootstrap" above. If we look into the java category, we have some 
bootstrap ports there, but not for all jdk versions. Can we add more 
bootstraps please, and make use of them? It took about double the time 
to build openjdk21 than it would really need to. Typically if you want 
to check out some new software, you want to do it "now", and if it 
depends upon other stuff, such a long chain of bootstrapping 4 JDKs to 
get the one you want is ... pulling a tooth or two.

Bye,
Alexander.
