The bootstrap binaries form the roots of the dependency graph.
Modifying them results in different hashes for all packages.  I learned
this when a colleague accidentally modified these files in our
deployment, which made Guix refuse all of the substitutes from Hydra and
instead rebuilt the world locally.

I don=E2=80=99t think you can realistically get rid of them.
