Downstairs that drop you inside vaults... just plain mean?

In Nethack, the 'vaults', while small, special-purpose and hard to access, never had a stairway inside them. In Moria/Angband and all the variants I've tried, none of the vaults I've encountered have had stairs leading in or out of them without magic or scroll trickery, and I'm willing to bet none of them anyone has ever conceived has. I don't think actual Rogue had any vaults at all, but if there were I think they'd follow similar rules.

In Doom, you are rarely thrown into instant combat upon entering a new level without any kind of place to cover and catch a breather nearby.

That is my logic behind my previous post; that is 'what I am talking about'. The fact remains that whether or not it's roguelike or doomlike, it may or may not be DoomRL-like. And it's just my opinion.
