Of course the question is "what is the goal of LFS?". If it is just to

topics...
Ah, yes. The Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe and Everything LFS.
I personally think it's more than just building a minimal working
system, and I think there are others that will agree with me there. That
should be shown by the fact that there are and continue to be such
packages as perl, auto{make, conf}, vim and readline in the base LFS
book. (This wasn't meant to start a discussion about whether or not
those packages should be there - we've done that already.)

Perhaps there could be a section added to the book describing more
details for each package and why exactly that package is in the book. It
would really be nice if the book had more documentation on the book
itself - how it got to be the way it is (besides having to search the
mailing lists).
