12/12/2022, 5:38 PMWe have a few boot up control knobs that use the global namespace today:
+ PANTS_SHA
+ PANTS_DEBUG
+ PANTS_BOOTSTRAP_TOOLS
Fwict these were not invented with much thought towards "What if someone tried to write a subsystem named ...". I'd like to carve out a few more for the Pants installer / bootstrapper but be disciplined with a namespace to house them under. So, maybe `PANTS_INSTALLER_*`*.* Bike shed is what name to pick? Also could be
PANTS_SETUP_*c

enough-analyst-54434
12/12/2022, 5:43 PMThat would do the least damage.

12/12/2022, 5:43 PMSo, the name is not the thing to think about IMO its the likelihood of usefulness as a future subsystem that will be blocked,

12/12/2022, 5:44 PMI like bootstrap - not foir the name - but for the fact its already claimed.
enough-analyst-54434
12/12/2022, 5:44 PMOk, I think the damage done principle trumps all here, going with bootstrap.

12/12/2022, 5:44 PMThanks - I could've / should've reached that conclusion in my head - escaped me. Sorry for the noise. There was no choice here in the end!
