It's *impossible* to determine a majority. The *readers* of the book are what matters. It is impossible to poll them. We recently removed Courier from the book. But for good reasons. 1. It was no longer maintained by any BLFS editor. 2. The version in the book was 6-7 revs old. 3. The instructions in the book didn't work for newer versions. 4. More, but I think you get the point. GnuCash is exactly opposite. It is highly maintained by BLFS editors. The version in BLFS is current and the instructions work. Why would we want to remove it? Because a handful of developers don't want GNOME1 in the book? Hardly a good reason, especially seeing how GNOME1 is highly maintained by BLFS. It currently builds perfectly with LFS-SVN using GCC-4. I'm not understanding why this is even being *considered* for removal. I'm not trying to be argumentative, I'm just looking for a good reason why a perfectly good application, and it's support packages are even being mentioned for removal.
