The release will not be in time for LFS-10.
Do you mean "old, with a broken test suite, but released" should always be preferred to "beta, but looks good" ?
The old version with a broken test suite is a known quantity. We've used it for years. The beta is an unknown, other than the fact that regression tests now work.
We don't use autoconf in LFS, but by my count there are 25 packages that use it in BLFS. Specifically, I found 23 that use autoreconf and two that use autoconf (id3lib and openldap). A lot of those packages are old.
We could consider using the beta or git head if all those packages are tested.
