5 Nope, nor will there ever be.

7 At stage in Gentoo is a sacred thing. It is created a certain way and
8 that should not be changed. If you're wanting to make changes, then you
9 are looking for a stage4.

14 Using a seed with only python 2.4 is the proper solution. If you do not
15 have such a seed, build a stage4 tarball with only python in it with
16 your new snapshot. You can use a 2005.1-r1 stage3 as your seed. Have
17 the stage4 run python-updater in your fsscript. You can then use this
18 updated stage4 as your seed for building stage1.
