Very interesting. This is helpful. :)
As to Jeremy Huntwork's "playful" suggestion that the concepts be
adopted into LFS proper, I'd probably side with the -1 people,
however, it does strike me that some of the issues "More Control and
..." raises might well provide some useful additional commentary to
the core LFS storyline.
I'm not going to push this proposal, especially considering that some
have so strongly voiced against it (I knew it was a shot in the dark
when I sent the suggestion).
What I really appreciate about Matthias' hint is not the ability to
retain packages/settings for the purpose of upgrades (though that is
nice as documentation to show what you did) but the finer level of
control you achieve over what things are installed where. If we could
mimic some of that (I'm not sure how ATM) without inserting the
full-blown hint in the book, we'd be closer to achieving what my
original intention was in bringing this up.
