At least they've avoided the libstdc++v3 issues this time.  For full
c++-11 support, and experimental c++-14, perhaps a version bump is
justified, not sure.  To be honest, by the time it got released it
seemed a lot easier for other packages than one or two of the gcc
minor version increments.  Internally to LFS, probably as different
as when gcc-4.9 was released.  And I don't see any obvious changes
in the structure of LFS that merit a version change, like your
rewrite of the bootscripts for 7.0.

Then again, I don't recall what changed from 2 to 3, or 3 to 4 -
perhaps new gcc versions played a part there.  I think the change to
5.0 matched the incorporation of the Pure LFS hint with better
separation from the host system and an emphasis on testsuites.  For
6.0 I no longer remember the details, but I sort of assume it was
moving to udev.

Now that gcc is going to increment its major version each year,
perhaps we could follow suit - or even go with YYMM numbers.  Oh,
no, sorry, that option has been taken.

But I know many people like frequently increasing release numbers,
and it isn't my call 8-)
