> The `stages` things is just useless noise, I just wanna specify dependencies please, I don't want to be forced to also put each job in a stage, it's weird.

You don't have to. GitLab supports dependencies. Using the `needs:` keyword.

It was released in August of 2019.

You still need both `needs: ...` and `stage: ...`

> In GitLab 14.0 and older, you can only refer to jobs in earlier stages.

> In GitLab 14.1 and later you can refer to jobs in the same stage as the job you are configuring.

Why bother with stages at all?
