I feel these are things we should definitely integrate from diy-linux. The new build method is very promising, and will be very helpful for the future when everyone expects their OS to be 64 bit. The way package management is handled is also something we should learn from. PM is allowed for, even encourages, but is not required. I feel this is an important point. PM should not be mandated, users should be able to choose a package management system, or none at all. Adding package management would not turn LFS into a distro, if the builder is given a choice. Instead, I think with a scheme like this, LFS could evolve from a book on how to build your own linux system into a book on how to build your own linux distro. And this is really 'Your Distro, Your Rules."
