boot9strap is still a custom bootloader that loads custom firmware (Luma3DS). That still makes boot9strap custom firmware. You're still installing CFW through SafeB9SInstaller by installing boot9strap. Even removing CFW would mean uninstalling boot9strap, so I don’t see much point in the edit. |

We don't normally put these kinds of comments in the guide, no?
Also, I guess we just don't want to explain to people how to find their timezone offset, so we just let GodMode9 handle setting the time.
