I also want to reiterate that if they are going to make a Stage3 install the default then make it a rock solid release. And in my opinion portage needs to be pruned not only of un-maintained packages but also of packages that conflict with others. Like I said before a Stable tree should be just that Stable. There is no reason someone should have to completely change to the Unstable branch when all of the programs that he / she wants are marked stable for that arch.
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.
