I don't think so. I think we should tell when the new bootfast target
should be used. After all, it is there for a reason.
Could Stefan, or someone else who uses the fast bootstrap, please tell
how do they know when it is safe to use it? Is there some method
besides trial-and-error?
Here's something about "make bootfast" that I wonder whether it could
cause trouble in specific situations: could the bootstrap-prepare and
bootstrap-clean-before targets that run before it remove some files
which will cause the rest of bootstrap fail in a way similar to what I
saw?
