One thing that sounds interesting is to not use it in LFS, but use it in BLFS. That way people learn both methods. If that is not feasible for BLFS, then I don't think it should be in just the LFS book as removes the need to do things manually. Repetition is good for learning while building LFS.
On the second thought, I tend to agree that there is no need to use config.site in regular LFS, IF a permission is granted to deviate and use config.site instead of the official LFS instructions for the purpose of building the official LFS LiveCD.
For Cross-LFS, my position is still the same: config.site should be used in the book, because I cannot verify the instructions if I add it myself.
