No. Bootstrap is involved only if you are making a breaking change. For normal development, this doesn't change anything.

Any change to the compiler can break or cause unintended side-effects to bootstrap. For example, adding an import to a module in the compiler might break bootstrap if the imported module uses syntactic constructs the bootstrap compiler doesn't support. The problems are often very subtle.
