ĸen, I do things here reassured that others might help me when I'm in trouble. You have done that and much more to BLFS, and I owe great part of my knowledge to you. Your work with texlive is great and at least from my part, it is difficult and I wouldn't have been capable or willing to do it. Thanks for it. I hope you a very long time account in BLFS. If you want me doing or not doing something so that you can chose more packages, just say and it is done.
