That's not the way I saw things Jim, apologies if I've misunderstood something. To me, things got delayed simply because the move to a single rules file caused folks to think "why are we setting policy in the book". The way I saw things was that we could do a simple merge of the *current* rules to facilitate the upgrade to the udev package, then when BLFS is ready (i.e. post BLFS-6.0) we can coordinate the changes to /etc/group & /etc/passwd.
But why does LFS-SVN need to wait on BLFS? BLFS is not based on LFS-SVN, it's based on LFS-6.0. LFS-6.0 is not going to change, so they do not have to worry about what gets done in LFS-SVN.
Even if the changes that get made in LFS-SVN have to be modified (or re-done) later once the BLFS crew gets the opportunity to add their voices, that's fine, that's how things are supposed to work :-)
