Who are these groups who are demanding such easy bootstrapping? OS or distro developers? Programmers working on embedded and/or safety critical systems?

I know OpenBSD avoids rust because of the bootstrapping issue, but they also avoid LLVM because of a licensing issue.

OpenBSD uses clang/llvm on most arches by now for the system compiler.

Uf. Brain fart. I meant that they avoid GCC because of licensing.
