The main user of this bootstrapping process are core contributors, normal users are still supposed to download prebuilt executables from the official website.
Distro maintainers also are not the target user of this bootstrapping process, since it involves a binary blob provided by us.
The real users of this procedure are Zig contributors, so that they can trivially build latest zig always, and without the annoyance of having to keep a C++ version of the compiler in sync with the main one. That's it.
