The expectation of a stage3 having no problems emerging any package is only
true if you don't stray from the preselected desktop-centric USE flags that
were used to build the stage3 in the first place.  When building a suitable
environment for a server, in my case, the very first thing I have to
contend with is blockages and pruning in just the right order.

In my experience, your assumption is reversed.  A build from stage1 does not
run into the problems inherent with a stage3.
