I have already developed a pretty stable HLFS (ie. I have not found a
bug yet...).
Have a look at http://www.secure-slinux.org.
Basically it is based on HLFS SVN-20060717 with kernel updated to
2.6.17.8 and grsecurity
updated to 2.1.9-2.6.17.8.
There are a few bugs fixed in the book. It would be a matter of a few
hours to list them here in
the mailing list.
It has a lot of features added and lots of packages from BLFS run on it
with no problem at all,
including XOrg, XFCE, Firefox, postfix, fcron, etc. Of course for a base
HLFS we don't need
those packages.
A slightly older version (however with little change) has been running
for over half a year on
a production server. No problems either.
If there is any interest, I could post those changes!

Well I have about the same schedule as you Robert, but I am willing to
throw my hat in the ring to help maintain HLFS-Stable. I have a big
interest in seeing that we can work out a hardened system capable of being
used for stable server environments. I think that starting another branch
for Stable is exactly what needs to happen. I am more than willing to sink
a good 10-20 hrs a week into maintaining, and I have allready begun working
on a branch of the SVN-20060717 build of HLFS. I am taking your suggestions
at face value, and making the required adaptations to work from a more
stable package set. I will have my edited HLFS-Book ready for review
sometime this weekend time permitting.
Hopefully we can get the ball rolling here, and I would love to help out
with what time I have to do so.
