It *is* exactly the same. Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you're going to attempt to get the same=20 result as a stage1 with a stage3 - (which won't be exactly the same,=20 given the defaults of stage3 that we don't all agree with) - don't you=20 have to download the huge stage3 tarball *and* all of the distfiles? =20 With a stage1, you only need the distfiles. Seems like a big change,=20 especially for those without fast connections. I'm against this change, personally. Stage1 has *always* been for=20 advanced users. If someone screws up their own system (which is possible= =20 in any number of other ways, as well) then it's their fault. Gentoo=20 isn't about babying users. It is about choice. And if changing that is=20 the only way to reduce your workload, well...
