Confusion on Bootstrap mode

No it is not enabled till I log in to your server and kick it on.

It sets trust level to 1 by default and digest frequency to daily by default.

Once the “bootstrap” number is hit it disables itself and sets tl to 0 by default and digest frequency back to weekly.

All it does is saves you from “visiting” the site and changing the 2 site settings.

I strongly recommend you just ignore the setting for now and amend the site settings to suit your needs.
