One of the attractions of the existing format is that |
| 17 |
tar xf /path/to/tarball -C /mnt/gentoo |
| 18 |
works to fix things like glibc being removed and other |
| 19 |
missing essential portage components. |

In effect, each binary package can be treated as a |
| 22 |
single package stage3 when a user needs a get out of jail |
| 23 |
free card. |

Does this proposal allow for installing the payload without |
| 26 |
the use of the Gentoo package manager from some random |
| 27 |
distro being used as a rescue media? |
