Please calm down. Chances are for 2006.0 hardened will no longer produce
a set of 2.4.x stages, by providing 1 less set of stages it frees up
some 
of our mirror space for providing a set if i386-gentoo-linux-gnu and a 
set of i686-gentoo-linux-gnu set of stages. If your start from a stage1
and remove the hardened USE flags it's functionality the equivalent as 
starting from a vanilla set by the time you ./bootstrap.sh and then 
your emerge -e world would remove any remaining traces. Of course I 
think it's silly to remove the hardened USE flag.

You can have your cake and eat it too as long as catalyst support
remains.
