Yes, but i already have them and don't need to download them any |

more in this scenario. |

No i haven't, but you're still welcome. Maybe i was not clear enough |
16 |
about the definition of losing (see below). |

Sorry, I wasn't really refering to the output but the bytes used for |
22 |
downloading the stage and the distfiles. |
23 |
Assuming emerge -e world compiles exactly the same packages (same |
24 |
versions as well) as stage 1 would mean you're a bit better off with |
25 |
stage 1 because it's slightly smaller. Hence stage 3 may lose by a few |
26 |
bytes here. |

Look, i'm not arguing with you and even though i think stage 1 has |
29 |
some cool features here i agree removing it may be a good idea. I just |
30 |
wanted to point out there are _some_ specific situations where you're |
31 |
better off with stage 1 under certain circumstances because you asked |
32 |
if there's anything stage 1 can do that 3 doesn't. ;-) |
