I use LFS because I wasnt getting what I needed from a distribution.
Just because I compile from source doesnt make me a developer.

If you no longer care about the end user - why develop?
Who is more important - the packager - or the end user?

There are users who compile from source - for one reason or another.

distributions follow source releases by about 3-6 months, too bad if
you need the functionality of the latest release now.

I was merely trying to offer an alternative - and the means to do it.
