First, apologies for changing the subject (facilitates my filters' work).

I do not know if I "can". :-)

But agree that something to avoid confusion should be done.

However, hoping for some future development that could bring it
completely back to the book, I think that maintaining the structure
almost as is would be desirable.

Perhaps just change the title to something such as Libraries and
Applications from GNOME. Or, better yet:  Libraries and Applications
from GNOME to KDE, XFCE and LXDE. Not sure.

And modify the introduction.

From "This section contains required packages for the GNOME applications
to build and function properly. We don't provide any desktop related
packages due to dependency on Systemd which BLFS doesn't support."

To: "The objective of the following section is not to build a GNOME
desktop, because it depends on Systemd which BLFS doesn't support.
Rather, it is to provide packages required for some agnostic GNOME
applications to build and run properly under any Window Manager (e.g.
Fluxbox, Icewm, Openbox, Sawfish) or Desktop Environment (e.g. KDE,
XFCE, LXDE)."

Of course, these are suggestions and need improvement. Or other
suggestions, such as the one by Igor, above.
