The BLFS Book, has taken a position of recommending that packages be built as a user then install them as root. Currently with the profile we do everything as root. I suggest that we do building as a user, then install as root in the profiles.

This will add a new tag ( {user} ) to most stages, this will also require some things to be broken out into seperate stages as well. Given that this would be a pretty invasive change, I don't think it could be done in time for the 6.0 profile, at least not the intial release, we could maybe add it in a update to it.
