Yes, but could they be shipped as, say, diffs/patches against e.g. blfs-7.4
release (just an example - but in any case a known baseline); so that
folks can apply them as wanted (& against a known baseline - hence the
'blfs-7.4 rel' example).

Current-format shipping is not making best use, results-wise, of the work
that you have obviously done in obtaining that info: the info is not as
readily re-usable as it really could be - and I'd expect could quite readily
be, as the blfs-sysd changes that you've made look generally fairly 'clean'.

Do you maintain your internal changes as changes to xml tree, or what; is it
amenable to generating diffs/patches that folks could apply to main blfs
xml? This is realy the crux of what I was meaning: can you generate such
diffs 'at no(t much) extra cost', from the internal-format info that you're
creating anyhow? Would that be better expenditure of your resources than
writing up the large-ish text/wiki documents?

If the blfs-sysd changes are avail as patches, then I'd expect folks'd
come on-board more readily.

Had expected here that there _would_ be two separate xml trees, at least
for foreseeable, like for lfs. And then in time see how 'clean' the diffs
between the two can be; and from there if want to merge.

Didn't mean to be distracting folks away from blfs testing.
