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 install= ation 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.
