If Zig was at version 19, like OpenJDK, then Zig could just not commit stage0 and instead say "download stage0 from ... or install from your friendly distro pkg repos". Eventually, presumably, Zig will get to that level of maturity. In the meantime, to me, it seems like not-a-big-deal to commit a very small stage0.
