You already complained about that on the forums [1] in a rather
similar thread and yet you still haven't filed a bug report about
it. I don't have the feeling this is going anywhere. I'd really
appreciate if you would at least try to help improve things.

Btw, the update was announced all over the place, including GWN,
www.gentoo.org, the forums, etc. You also get a message in the
postinstall of gcc 3.4.4 iirc.

As for the stage 1 problems you described, this is exactly what i
already told you in the same thread. Supporting stage 1 costs extra
resources, this thread is a perfect example of it.
