I agree, that is why I've always referenced it as a fork. And
as Dan says below, I don't consider that a bad thing. It simply
is an accurate description.

I agree with this as well. In fact, I've referenced CLFS while
doing a multilib build a few months back. Though I only looked
at it if something didn't work properly, or I had second thoughts
about something. I wanted to learn the hard way, as unfortunately
for me that usually is the only way to make the knowledge permanent.

I too admire the work, as LFS didn't provide what CLFS brought
to the table. And I'm in the camp with several recent posters
that think the project would be better off as a whole if things
could get straighted out and the projects somewhat merged.
