That you duplicated all the effort DJ spent addressing these same issues and

you seemed only vaguely interested in and did not appear to follow well and
then you turn around and announce you've rewritten the _old_ bootscripts after
DJ already did the work in LSB and asked for review.
If your only objection to those scripts is initd_tools, it's really weak
grounds for rejecting DJ's work.

Why would I review it when I have a fundamental issue with you disregarding
DJ's work?

What problems did you have with them? Besides, these LSB scripts have long been
slated for inclusion in LFS. DJ isn't the only one that worked hard on them.
Dan Nicholson also did much work to get them ready. This has all been discussed
and agreed upon by the community from years ago. It's crazy that they should
still be rejected and not part of the major reason for releasing a 7.0.

I asked in July why this rework was happening in your first announcement
thread, no one responded. When you contacted me privately (presumably before
you did the rewrite) I pointed you to DJ and the long threads/discussions that
had happened.

I don't have technical issues with what you've done. I'm sure your scripts are
great. I do have issue with you disregarding other people's work, especially
when it seems that your only grounds for doing so are personal preference and
it doesn't reflect community input.
