Yeah this has been a thing since computers.
I had a lock feature in a distributed-client cache back in the day. You could lock in some tool file etc that you used frequently, so performance would be stable over some long operation e.g. a build.
I always wondered if people were really any better at choosing, than my cache algorithm. Hard to say. Can't really take statistics, because you can't measure the pattern they didn't use!

So if you could toggle in some bootstrap code into core, leave it there, and make sure nothing overwrites it, you won't have to toggle the bootstrap in next time.
