It would be very nice if these two books had the same packages occupying

For the most part this is the case but I noticed that
Appstream-Glib-0.3.3
<http://linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/systemd/general/appstream-glib.html>
is in 'General Utilities' in BLFS-systemd
while
Appstream-Glib-0.3.1
<http://linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/systemd/general/appstream-glib.html>
is in 'Libraries' in KBLFS
This may seem trivial but if it's the thin end of a wedge, then you are
heading for chaos.
My script installs BLFS packages section by section and works well if
the packages and sections are consistent in each version of the book.
Gets tricky though if a package starts leaping around!
Trust you all enjoyed 'Black Friday' :-(

I'm not really sure if "General Utilities" was the correct category. It
contained a library and a command line utility to use that library
(analogue to libxml2 and xmllint, libxslt and xsltproc, icu and numerous
icu binaries, etc), that's why I moved it there.
I agree that there are many packages that don't really fit in the
categories they're in, but since this one was a new package when I
created the branch, I felt "General Libraries" was the right section
(because of what I mentioned about libxml2 and libxslt and what not).
I'd like to see what other editors think about this. It's not a big
deal, I can move it alright.
But, it shouldn't be an issue (and it isn't for me or anyone else it
seems) since I don't try to follow the systemd book anyways, so having
different instructions, packages or categories means nothing to me to be
honest.
