No updates. I don't think any of us worked more on that than you can read.

I don't understand what you suggest here. I think grep is used in the Makefile,
so we can't just remove it from the inputs. What would not building camlboot
when grep is updated look like?
Have a grep-for-build that is never updated? Build camlboot once and repackage
the binary (making it a bootstrap seed)?
