rac... though most of his arguments are invalid once we updated the
stages.  His arguments were that we should always use stage3 because
stages 1 and 2 caused problems, which they did.  These problems have
been resolved by making the stages fuller.  However, in doing so, we
reduced the legitimate need for having these stages to almost nothing.
