Don't judge so fast.  I had three very good reasons, and my opinion was the 
only one that counted.  (a) I had the CD in hand.  (b) I am building for modest 
classic Pentium class machines and it was, and is, more important to avoid the 
"creeping featuritis" and code bloat of the latest & greatest in favor of 
performance and functionality.  (c) It was an educational exercise and I didn't 
really care how modern the resulting system was.

I had no major issues with it.  It serves its function well--better than the 
LFS-6.1.1 that cannot compile KDE-3.1 with GCC-3.4.3!  A system that works, no 
matter how archaic, is much better than one that doesn't.  And, no, I'm NOT 
going to install KDE-3.5 and its bloated dependency chain.
