I would like to say that it pleases me that the LFS community is as
active as it is, and congratulations on another release of this fine
product. LFS is as active as it ever has been, and I've been part of
the community for 10+ years.

Thanks to everyone involved that is making all these good things
happen, and a special shout-out to Armin who almost single-handedly
kept the systemd branch active and current. Though I do not contribute
very much any more, I just want to say how much I appreciate everyone's
effort.

It is amazing to see this community thriving after all these years.
Way to go everyone!

Best Regards,
Randy
