Actually, he's not forcing you to do anything since the stage1 and stage2
tarballs are still being produced.  If you want to use them, then you can
download them and go ahead with your installation.  If you don't understand the
process and what you are doing already, then you shouldn't be using them.

That being said, I have not seen anyone here offer to support these installation
methods.  Its nice and all to say we should keep something, but the releng team
cannot support everything currently.  If you want to "save the stage1", then
step up and offer to help.
