True that the installations become identical very soon. But what if I set up |
| 14 |
server using stage 1 and an up-to-date portage tree. After the installation |
| 15 |
is finished it'll sit around doing whatever it's supposed to do and I don't |
| 16 |
really touch it except for security related updates. |

Just an example where stage 1 was a nice option. Taking away such an option |
| 18 |
doesn't sound all too much like the gentoo way to me. |
