"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 www <at> gentoo.org, 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"?
