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.
Re: http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/ticket/5683
I don't feel capable to do in multiple pages, so, gave back to the book.
Forgot: I am using only LXQt, now. I have a script and some guides about
dependencies (which might be far from accurate). If anyone wants, I can
make them available.
It seems that systemd will become the example to be followed. Thus, I
hope that the updates come there first, then we need just to copy and
remove the contamination. Like it is done there since start.
I was so happy coming back but a couple of things today made me decide
to take more time off.
