These thoughts are prompted by my initial view of the kf5 additions.
I don't enjoy building multiple packages on one page - in the case
of kf5 the explanation of the wget options is educational, and the
while loop with its use of $packagedir is also educational [
provided the directory always matches exactly the tarball name ].
But ...
1. I dislike not being able to see what each package does, and what
uses it - I have never built the whole of BLFS, and I loathe wasting
build time, and space, on packages which I will not need.
2. It is always nice to be able to find programs and libraries in
longindex. For multiple-package pages this is possible, but without
the package version, whereas on separate pages we can immediately
see the package name and version.¹
For Xorg, the current layout is derived from the introduction of
modular Xorg (from memory, 6.8 and 6.9 were released at the same
time - 6.8 was monolithic, 6.9 began the use of separate packages)
and at that time it offered a way of comparing the two builds to
ensure they had the same result.
Putting a new DE into the book is a majot job. I have no objection
to using the "many packages on one page" approach as an initial
step, but I hope that the aim will be to have one page per package
(compare the systemd book's treatment of "kde5").

[1] - this requires people to add the indexing, of course, and it is
the least-urgent part of adding a new environment.

I don't feel capable to do in multiple pages, so, gave back to the book.
