The expectation of a stage3 having no problems emerging any package is only |
| 11 |
true if you don't stray from the preselected desktop-centric USE flags that |
| 12 |
were used to build the stage3 in the first place. When building a suitable |
| 13 |
environment for a server, in my case, the very first thing I have to |
| 14 |
contend with is blockages and pruning in just the right order. |

In my experience, your assumption is reversed. A build from stage1 does not |
| 17 |
run into the problems inherent with a stage3. |
