Ah okay. The article was a little over my head so I mostly skimmed it. This makes sense what you're saying though. It's easy to forget the level of bootstrapping they're trying to do is all the way to assembly.

It's the sort of thing if you think about too long you'll get paranoid and start using Gentoo exclusively lol.
