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. kashani -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
