I just don't think it's a good tool for the very early bootstrapping phase

kind of dependency-checking functionality provided externally. From a design
standpoint, I'm not even sure they're wrong; that seems like the kind of code
that's tricky enough that we shouldn't have to have fifty separate
implementations.

I still don't understand where you think that all this code that has to be added to applications to "check dependencies" comes from.


But at any rate, the first assertion you make here is manifestly nonsense; the system is largely bootstrapped (and will be more largely bootstrapped as time goes on) by launchd.
