And that's great. That good, very good. And I really hope it never will be

People you are talking now really should work quite a bit longer or get 
Knoppix. No, not lifeCD of LFS, because they never can admire the great
work done on it.

No.

It is the best. Best solution, best idea, best work ever done on it

It is. As the idea pretends, it couldn't be done better.

You are talking about what? LFS isn't BLFS and vice versa.
LFS never should be just for those who want to start X ASAP.
>From that time on you really understand everything happening
during building LFS you are well preprared to start BLFS.
You got even tips to have being prepared and even that's too much.
