Yeah, the bootstrapping work would need to shift from the chair. I guess 
the underlying question here is this: do we (really you) have a problem 
getting chairs?  Do we need to find new methods? If so, then let's get 
on it.  And yeah, that would require an update of some form to 8713.  
I'm sorry I jumped into the solution space a bit fast.
