I think that a lot of people use stage 1 because they're under the impression that they have to in order to change their CHOST on default-linux from i386-pc-linux-gnu to i686-pc-linux-gnu. And unless something has changed recently, to get an NPTL glibc they _do_ have to make that change [1]. If it's made clear that there is absolutely no difference in the end btwn stage3 + emerge -e world and stage1, maybe people would be less enthusiastic about using it.
if you are on x86, there is stage3 for pentium4 built with CFLAGS="-O2 -march=penitum4" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
