I suggest a question about "are you familiar with building project".
the sub question being, It is utopia to expect to build LFS first try,
the only way to converge to success is to able to have a reliable way
to repeat processus.
May be the list members could answer to the question, such you have
a way to compare "old" LFS contributor/user with your panel.
1 -> 4 to have a customized system (NO systemd, + Gnome2 (MATE))
would have NOT been successful without LFS starting point.
2 -> redhat + centos (over 20 years usage)
3 -> yes, the difficulty here is to master packages
needed dependencies.
4 -> 4, but never found that really needed as distribution kernel
have all the options (meanwhile it is mandatory to master
kernel compilation + boot process (grub), to really be
successful to set LFS in production.
