Brainstorming

Prepare a btrfs subvolume stable-vol and mount it to /vol/stable

root #btrfs subvolume create stable-vol

root #mkdir -p /vol/stable

root #mount stable-vol /vol/stable

Setup a stable gentoo from stage3 in /vol/stable and make a snapshot. Make adjustments for package testing. (make.conf ...)
