PR #208478 added a lot of documentation about which packages were rebuilt in each stage of the stdenv bootstrap. However nothing checks that these comments agree with reality; they can bitrot over time. This PR rewrites those comments as assertions, so they cannot bitrot. This conversion did expose some ambiguity in our scheme for naming the stages. Suppose that `pkgs.stdenv.name=="stdenv-stage4", then which of these is "the stage4 coreutils"? ``` pkgs.coreutils pkgs.stdenv.__bootPackages.coreutils ``` The choice is arbitrary, and both choices have confusing corner cases. We should revisit this at some point. |
