Exactly, what I don't want is to Install 2005.1-r1 stage3 and then have to update the stage3 it takes too much time to compile the updated version of glib and gcc.

I also like to have GRP packages for Gnome and so, my Home Internet conection is not too fast so I prefer to update the less packages I can.

Very true, but what is useful is the GRP packages that are released with
every release point, enabling an up to date precompiled gentoo with kde
and/or gnome [1] to be up and running within an hour or two. I know
precompiled binaries are not for everyone, but they can be very useful.


[1] and/or XFCE? cannot recall off the top of my head.
