Perhaps it is seen as duplicative in relation to the process, where each 
process has its purpose, in this sense I do not see it as duplicative.  
In the hypothetical case of stage "M" or minimum, we still do not know 
what things can be duplicated with respect to what was used in the 
previous stages, in this respect I do not think it will be duplicated or 
many things will be used for it (according to what I proposed as "stage 
M").  You can also link to what is needed from one stage to another, in 
case they are files with the same instructions.  However, my 
recommendation is to have separate files, even if there are small 
differences in the instructions.

Separating the stages as currently proposed, IMHO, is going to create 
confusion and a bit of fragmentation...
