I remember we hesitated gratuitously updating the %bootstrap-guile seed
(to 2.2) and decided to try to "make it work without updating the guile
seed".
I am not 100% sure, we'd have to look up the IRC discussions.

Oh, that's weird. Well, we used gule-2.2 until almost the very last
moment, I remember. I am cc'ing Timothy, as he helped make the
guile-2.0 bootstrap possible (gash compatibility and such).
