In addition, upstream changes are released often.  The average is
about 3.5 packages every day, seven days a week.

To address this, I am proposing to split BLFS into two (or possibly
more) books.  My tentative names are BLFS-Basic and BLFS-Advanced.
BLFS-Basic is primarily command line tools and programs plus the basic
Xorg section of BLFS.  This would be updated regularly and a 'stable'
version released every six months with the LFS book.

Just a thought:

What if we would use only *stable* versions of packages in the BLFS-*Stable* book?

Ok, the book would than be not so bleeding-edge (but rock-solid i assume). This would reduce the amount of updates we would have to make in order to keep it on the very recent status. For example, bind (DNS-server) had two tickets to upgrade to 9.13.1 and a few days later to 9.13.2. Two tickets which may simply drop out if stable-book stick on stable version 9.12.2.

What do you think?
