Good point on not having to rewrite. If one builds a new LFS, doesn't
one ordinarily also end up with a different kernel anyway, though?
I do like sequestering the kernels and boot control information,
but that can be done with an ordinary directory.
One issue with large discs is that one needs whatever contains /boot
to be near the beginning of the disc in some circumstances.
