This issue was just discussed. It was determined that by going with what we have, we can get a stable release out *now*. Making these changes you propose would cause the release to become even more delayed, with no assurances that we would end up with a stable product. Newer is not necessarily better (this sentence simply an opinion). -- Randy rmlscsi: [bogomips 1003.28] [GNU ld version 2.16.1] [gcc (GCC) 4.0.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.6] [Linux 2.6.14.3 i686] 13:23:00 up 23 days, 1:00, 2 users, load average: 0.61, 0.32, 0.15 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
