Yeah, my phrasing was lousy (which I noted in another e-mail, but I |

doubt you had time to see it before replying to this one). |

That's fine with me. All I really want to do is ensure that we preserve |
| 13 |
our users' ability to tinker with system without making life too painful |
| 14 |
for them. Starting from a stage 1 it was obvious how to do such |
| 15 |
tinkering. I would argue that it's not quite as obvious how to do that |
| 16 |
when starting from a stage 3, so a bit of additional documentation on |
| 17 |
how to do that would be nice. If that were done, then I would have no |
| 18 |
complaints about the stage 1 and stage 2 tarballs going away altogether. |
