Currently the build process has 5 steps:
root.spec - builds a list of packages to installroot.build - generates chroot and installs packagesroot.patched - applies all overlays and confscriptsroot.sandbox - doesn't actually do anything at build time but can be used as a staging area for testing things without needing to completely rebuild root.patchedproduct.iso - builds the final ISO
IMO it would be nice to break step 3 up into separate "sub" stages - at least 2; common & app steps, but perhaps even 4 (overlay & conf steps of each of the first 2). That would mean that building to a specific sub-stage to investigate and/or test overlays and conf scripts wouldn't require a complete rebuild of root.patched every time - only the last desired step.
