Also, this has been around for *years* as it was written by my
predecessor.

There's no much you can do if people don't read the documentation that's
already out there.  I have considered making catalyst do some checking
to ensure that the seed stage3 used by stage4/livecd-stage1 is built
with the same snapshot (version, anyway) as you're about to use for the
build, and bail out if it doesn't.  This should resolve this "problem"
with catalyst and will keep people from doing stupid things.
