In my opinion, no regional can be labeled "outsourcing." The majors are the ones properly labeled as "outsourcing."
With regard to stapling, I think history has shown that there's no such thing. Because even after a staple has been contractually agreed to by all parties, subsequent lawsuits will follow claiming the stapling contract was unconscionable and signed under duress...thus must be overturned and a proper merging process followed.
That's today's legal reality.
