stage3-amd64-hardened-20181209T214502Z.tar.xz is missing /etc/runlevels/default/ Doing a fresh install based on install-amd64-minimal-20181209T214502Z.iso and stage3-amd64-hardened-20181209T214502Z.tar.xz, got a strange error when adding something to 'default' runlevel: # rc-update add sshd default * rc-update: 'default' is not a valid runlevel The /etc/runlevels/default/ dir disappeared from the stage tarball sometime in the last couple of months.

I don't know how much of that was intentional. Hm, now that I look around for more bugs I see https://bugs.gentoo.org/672924 might be the cause of this, I'm not certain though.
Should be fixed, please reopen if you still see the same problem somewhere
