Hi Guix,
we have some Makefile rules that download some bootstrap binaries for
us. Why is this necessary? Could we ship these bootstrap binaries
instead?

These makefile rules were here mostly so that the tarball is not too big.
They are gone now in ‘core-updates’:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/commit/?id=4f024ef3181c5235ff11789e8c8f62722f974787
See <https://bugs.gnu.org/27849> for background.
HTH!
