No, I started on LFS/BLFS because I couldn't find a distro that worked how
I'd like. So, I wrote a package manager and built an XFCE system based on
BLFS. The black flashing windows on things like abiword, gnumeric, etc
were very irritating but, otherwise, loosely following BLFS has resulted
in a remarkably stable system. I definitely don't want anything bleeding
edge.
I'm glad BLFS works for you.
I do not know what your definition of 'bleeding' edge is, but for me it
means using code fetched directly from the upstream revision control system.
BLFS is designed to be 'leading' edge. The development book uses, for the
vast majority of packages, what upstream has released as 'stable'
releases. That stability really depends on the upstream developer definition.
