Team,
One of the attractions of the existing format is that
tar xf /path/to/tarball -C /mnt/gentoo
works to fix things like glibc being removed and other
missing essential portage components.
In effect, each binary package can be treated as a
single package stage3 when a user needs a get out of jail
free card.
Does this proposal allow for installing the payload without
the use of the Gentoo package manager from some random
distro being used as a rescue media?
