It doesnt need to be maintained, it only needs to work in one commit on master and then one uses time-machine to rebuild the bootstrap binaries if they wish to. The make-bootstrap code is already unmaintained for every architecture anyway since we never rebuild bootstrap binaries using later GNU Guix revisions ever. > Do you have a preference big-endian vs little endian? I'd like both but little endian has the widest eco-system support especially w.r.t. to Linux drivers. Many Linux drivers have endianness bugs (lack of endian-safe serialization for DMA..), it's such a plague that sticking to little endian is just better right now. One common example being mpt3sas and amdgpu drivers required in some configurations of the Talos II system.
