Fair point, however this is the kind of stuff that most users want anyway. I see the embedded angle you are taking with this argument, and I would counter by saying that folks who are interested in some sort of embedded uclibc type userland probably know what they are doing in the first place. > I don't care what you do with the docs, but the stages 1, 3 need to > stay. stage2 has always been a bonus stage more or less added into the > mix cuz it's a byproduct of stage building (pre catalyst days). I don't think anyone has implied that we're not going to distribute stage1 anymore. They are still useful for folks that know what they are doing. -Steve -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
