 Ok, that's the existing ticket #28203.
 Let's add a commit to call the script instead of the bootstrap delay.
 And let's ignore the exit status for the moment.

 Then let's run CI to see if we need to wait longer.
 We should merge this diagnostic right after we merge the chutney.git CI in
 #27912.

 Let's make these changes so we can merge #28203.

 > Should we be using this command from test_network.sh instead of our 20
 second wait?
 > If we do, we might need to wait after bootstrap for:
 > * a consensus interval (10 seconds?) for relays to be in the consensus
 > * another consensus interval (10 seconds?) for onion services to update
 their consensus and post descriptors

 Let's fix bootstrap issues (#20473), then start failing when bootstrap
 fails.
 We don't have to make these changes right away.
