Ping - specifically to our openKylinOS expect. ;)

There are only two options:
 A) fix the isar-bootstrap issue Clara found AND re-add isar-bootstrap
    to some tests
 B) drop isar-bootstrap, maybe only leaving bootstrap-host/target for
    now so that downstream can still override where needed

Leaving things as they are or only doing half of option A) are no
alternatives.
