Security is the primary goal. Actually, the toolchain is the only real difference between LFS and HLFS. That however, also means everything is very different in the end. As a security conscious project, there are important things missing. What about network/Internet security? Netfilter is ready to rock in the kernel, but HLFS ignores this essential security. Add IPtables and a basic config. SSH is also essential in most cases. Pam is needed by lots of server apps but this goes unmentioned forcing a rebuild of shadow, blah blah. And useradd has never worked right for me so it probably needs attention. Yes, by all means; if it relates to security I encourage expansion, but the tool chain is what I really care about.
