rac... though most of his arguments are invalid once we updated the |
| 9 |
stages. His arguments were that we should always use stage3 because |
| 10 |
stages 1 and 2 caused problems, which they did. These problems have |

been resolved by making the stages fuller. However, in doing so, we |

reduced the legitimate need for having these stages to almost nothing. |
