No, I don't have any suggestions. If you are using the packages in
the BLFS SVN book, for your production CD, then great. However, from
my casual perusing of the LiveCD mailing list, it seems that there
are 'production' releases of the CD frequently. And these releases
seem to be released just a day or so after there are package updates.

My point being that the BLFS SVN book is supposed to be considered
an unstable environment, yet other LFS entities are using it for
their production environment, with the testing of it being that
"it builds". Yes, we know it builds. But only with much testing,
usage and overall synergy of the built packages can it be determined
that the environment is stable.
