But you would anyway.  Once you've done the bootstrap, the new tools
are installed and leaving the binaries in the tree won't change a
thing - everything subsequent will still be linked with the new copies.

Like I said, I think there's no logical reason at all for this.

Furthermore, here's my make world time for the standard tree:

     6366.76 real      4213.03 user       711.55 sys

And for a tree which has make depend and make all combined:

     6189.28 real      4215.11 user       706.74 sys

A noticable difference for the same effect.
