By definition, the bootstrap is only that: something used to get up and running. Once running, the bootstrap itself is no longer useful. It is not a component to be updated and maintained. It is merely a barebones layout of the overall Unix Compatibility Subsystem, and the programs of which it is comprised will be updated by ANPM as updates for them become available.
We update the bootstrap from time to time to keep it more current with the latest package versions available. This is for logistical reasons, as it is less likely to be problematic when updating from one minor version of an included component to the next, than it is to have to upgrade to a version several major revisions newer. Thus, we try to ship a recent set of components in the bootstrap.
We do not generally announce the availability of new bootstrap builds. This is because such information is essentially irrelevant. ANPM will automatically download and apply the latest bootstrap available, anyway, and the bootstrap, as stated above, need only be applied once and only under very specific conditions.
