In CLFS, we create all the users and groups, this will solve all issues if LFS will follow. It will also simplify the BLFS instructions to adding users to the appropriate groups. It's a plus for all, eliminates so of tedious work the BLFS has to do managing users/groups and gives everyone a full compliment of users/groups to start with.
I know I'm a little late on this, but I've been out-of-town the past couple days and just wanted to add my opinion to this discussion. I believe there is no need to create all the users/groups in a base LFS system, especially when many of them are likely to never be used my most users. LFS is about creating a customized system, and I personally prefer to start with a minimal base and add on to it, rather than toss a bunch of extra stuff in and expect users to remove the stuff they don't need (and this is what I believe *before* even considering the "educational" aspect of LFS, though that is certainly important as well).
