Correct.

And Christoph, you may have noticed I stopped making official CDs
which did solve that particular problem.  It was too much of a pain
for the gain.  This feels like a request to handle all this pain for
torrent people.  I stopped the build process for CDs because it was a
lot of work for almost no financial gain, and a distraction against
other things I'd rather do.  Now I'm supposed to continue doing the
same, for no gain at all?  Allow me to express my disinterest.  As Ted
said.  Bootstrapping problem is bootstrapping problem.
