We have received *numerous* complaints from users about the decision to
remove stage 1 and 2 from the installation documentation. I realize it's
still available if users are willing to dig for it, but not all users do.
In my years of monitoring [EMAIL PROTECTED], we've received the most
complaints about this decision than any other single decision. Is there a
way we can re-introduce the stages into the installation documentation,
perhaps with gigantic warnings saying, "for advanced users only" or "use at
your own risk"?
Well, if we could educate the users that stage2 tarballs are totally
pointless, and that running bootstrap.sh followed by emerge -e system
from a stage3 is pretty much *exactly* the same as starting a stage1
from scratch...
To me, the email from that user sounds like the typical vocal minority
of users who make "screw common sense in favor of choice" complaints
whenever we change something for the better.
