-This does not belong on this page.  I don't want to address this now.
-At first I thought it would go on another page, but nothing seems to fit.
-Perhaps a new page - somthing like 'Upgrading an Existing LFS System'.

-      During a development cycle of LFS, the instructions in the book is
-      often modified to adapt for a package update or take the advantage of
-      new features from updated packages.  Mixing up the instructions of
-      different versions of the LFS book can cause subtle breakages.  This
-      kind of issue is generally a result from reusing some script created
-      for a prior LFS release.  Such a reuse is strongly discouraged.  If
-      you are reusing scripts for a prior LFS release for any reason, you'll
-      need to be very careful to update the scripts to match current version
-      of the LFS book.
