OK. Did I change that? I didn't think I did.
BTW, I just do: sudo cp /etc/{passwd,group,shadow,hosts} /mnt/lfs/etc
And a few other things like bashrc, dircolors, vimrc, inputrc, profile,
profile.d/ but some of that is getting into BLFS. We do say:
"If you are an experienced LFS user, several of those steps can be
skipped or done in a different way." :)

Actually rc.site is completely optional. I did that as a convenience if
users wanted to use it.

That's fine. There is no fighting here. Just discussion of alternatives.
