Comment (by mcs):

 Replying to [comment:9 catalyst]:
 > Could you please describe what risks you see from having the numbering
 possibly change from one run to another?

 I think it is fine for the numbering to change if the user has modified
 their configuration, e.g., if they added a PT bridge. But I don't think it
 will meet user's expectations if "50% done" means something very different
 the second time bootstrapping occurs vs. the first time. But it isn't
 clear to me what kind of decoupling you are considering, so maybe this is
 not a likely outcome.
