It hasn't yet:
‘No revision has been approved for this page. View the most
recent revision.’
I presume that'll be the first objection during review, if
bootstrapping is at all a concern (and it should be).

‘mpv <https://foo>’ will even call it for you behind the scenes,
without the download wait. Actually the only way to still watch
such videos on less performant machines.
I also use [0] with uBlock Origin in Icecat to make YouTube itself
almost usable, but none of these approaches address the privacy
concerns that FreeTube claims to do.
Kind regards,
