16 I don't recall a tracker bug ever being created.

18 It required the stages be generated by catalyst-3 which can be
19 configured to any location for the tree defaults. catalyst-2 had paths
20 hard-coded all over the place, plus used those paths as keys in
21 python dictionaries...
22
23 I believe all stages are now built with catalyst-3 for all arches, but
24 I don't know about some of the lesser used arches as some of those are
25 older dates.
26
27 That and a portage release with the new default location set in it's
28 backup configs.
29
30 So, it should be ready to convert if the minor arches stage are being
31 generated with catalyst-3
