Hello, As discussed in #gentoo-wiki, i think it would be a good idea to enable getbinpkg in the stage3s that support binaries by default, this change would make things easier and simpler for new users and users of the official binhosts and it would be a simple change. the handbook instructions could then also be simplified to reflect the new default behavior, users that prefer to compile everything from source have to adjust their make.conf anyway to adjust compile and make flags i think there is plenty of benefits to enabling binaries by default and no real downsides stage3s already come with binary packages like rust-bin and it could help dispel the myth that the entire point of gentoo is only about compiling everything for "performance" - Emi / EmiOnLine
