Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you're going to attempt to get the same |
| 5 |
result as a stage1 with a stage3 - (which won't be exactly the same, |
| 6 |
given the defaults of stage3 that we don't all agree with) - don't you |
| 7 |
have to download the huge stage3 tarball *and* all of the distfiles? |
| 8 |
With a stage1, you only need the distfiles. Seems like a big change, |
| 9 |
especially for those without fast connections. |

I'm against this change, personally. Stage1 has *always* been for |
| 12 |
advanced users. If someone screws up their own system (which is possible |
| 13 |
in any number of other ways, as well) then it's their fault. Gentoo |
| 14 |
isn't about babying users. It is about choice. And if changing that is |
| 15 |
the only way to reduce your workload, well... |
