Actually, I probably just underquoted. I am well-aware that there are issues with ARM, hence my previous suggestion that it might make sense to vary this by profile. Let me try my post again, with a bit more quoting: On Mon, Dec 9, 2013 at 2:56 PM, Rick "Zero_Chaos" Farina <[email protected]> wrote: > What if he wants to > put a stage3 on a disk for his amd64 box from his arm box?

Hit your head on the wall because it doesn't contain a kernel? Stage3s in general aren't functional systems. Insofar as much as he was talking about ARM I get the point. Insofar as he is taking about amd64, not so much. Which he was talking about in that paragraph I can only guess at. But as I later said in the same email: If it actually had collisions with other network managers I think there would be more of a case for removing it. After all, we stick openrc and portage (the PM) in the stage3 and you don't exactly need those in order to run Gentoo... Rich
