	My understanding is that you're way more likely to have issues starting 
from a stage1, I know I have. Moving general users to stage3 is an 
attempt to eliminate variables and streamline the testing that goes into 
a release. By streamlining the testing you can increase the actual 
amount of testing you can do without increasing the overhead.
