if you're on x86/amd64 and want to prepare a sdcard for e.g. arm. you
extract the stage3 to the card but then you can't just chroot and emerge
netifrc...
on the other hand, as long as busybox' default config includes a dhcp
client one can always call it manually, unfortunately to do so. you need
to have access to the system which isn't always guaranteed without network.
so I strongly vote against exclude a default network stack for stage3.
why not introduce a stage3 set which includes @system and other
important packages like the default network stack?
