I don't think this is a good idea. We've promised people that they can keep unmerged-usr if they want, but not having stages means new installs aren't doable, and it also makes testing a pain because you can't easily unmerge. You can easily merge, but you can't easily unmerge. What you can do is provide a limited number of non-merged-usr variants given it's just about saving people rebuilds. (I also think it's the wrong way to do such a change anyway - the releng part should be last after decision-making, not first.) > [...] > Cheers & have fun, thanks, sam
