Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you're going to attempt to get the same
result as a stage1 with a stage3 - (which won't be exactly the same,
given the defaults of stage3 that we don't all agree with) - don't you
have to download the huge stage3 tarball *and* all of the distfiles?
With a stage1, you only need the distfiles. Seems like a big change,
especially for those without fast connections.
I'm against this change, personally. Stage1 has *always* been for
advanced users. If someone screws up their own system (which is possible
in any number of other ways, as well) then it's their fault. Gentoo
isn't about babying users. It is about choice. And if changing that is
the only way to reduce your workload, well...
