Hi,
Since the release of 2004.2 is impending, I took a little time to put
gentoo-upgrading.xml in shape. The few lines of instructions that I added to
deal with 2004.2 are not meant to be final, ideally the releng team should
substitute with whatever seems appropriate, maybe taken from the release
notes.
I switched the command to change the profile symlink from referring to
stackable profiles to non-stackable profiles, since it appears stackable
profiles are not really used yet.
Thanks
Gregorio

It seemed to me that the stage1 for 2004.2 was going to use the non stackable
profile (default-<arch>-2004.2), so I thought it made sense to stay with
non-stackable profiles for now (BTW: are they really exactly equivalent?)
or I'm wrong and 2004.2 uses stackable profiles?

2004.2 does not use stackable profiles.
