Hi Bruce
For me, one of the things that stands out is the way it approaches process supervision, i.e., not trying to manage/understand state of a service via shell scripts and pid files. Are there still parts of the community here that are active with more experimental topics?
There is not as much experimentation as there used to be. Editor participation has dropped and it's about all we can do to keep up with upstream changes to what is in BLFS now. LFS is not as large (about 10% of BLFS) and we can get by with about 2-3 updates per month and still stay pretty current. BLFS has, on average, about 4 packages updated every day, weekends included. That's counting things like kf5, kf5-apps, and plasma as one package. The biggest mover for apps seems to be gnome. The systemd version of the book has a full gnome environment (not fully in sysv due to gnome's insistence on systemd) and that seems to have a lot of churn. In any case, there are about 800 packages in BLFS and if they each updated only once a year, that would still be almost 3 per day.
