Note that *building* a LFS system is a bit of work.

Properly *maintaining* an LFS system is an ongoing *ton* of work.  Basically,
you end up maintaining your own distro - which means you need to keep up
to date on security issues on a per-program basis, and backport patches
when you discover problems with shared library mismatches..

For example:  Look at how many programs on your system use OpenSSL.
There's been more than a few security issues with it - and if the fix is "update
to the next release", you get to figure out what needs to be patched to use
the next version if there's an API change, or backport the OpenSSL fix for
the packages that haven't upgraded upstream to use the new OpenSSL API...
