'Tedious' is probably an euphemism. There are many Java packages that
can't be bootstrapped properly due to circular dependencies. If it's not
a hard requirement mandated by the policies I don't think it's fair to
mark this as serious. It's certainly nice to have, hence the wishlist
severity, but that doesn't limit our ability to use and modify the packages.
