Those of us definitely involved with catalyst type builds always start
with a stage3, since it saves a lot of time and the end result is no
different once you've made your customizations and run an "emerge -e

Besides, we spend enough time building from stage1 over and over and
over again for each release.  Why do it again on our machines when we
install?
