It's just a lot of extra work: every time you make one change in the
stack, you have to go and make the same change in X other stacks too.
Better to use a single stack and change the images/movies/sounds by
changing the file reference (e.g., the directory) and text by loading
different sets of text files (also possibly e.g. based on the
directory) at run time.
