As the sysadmin, you can change anything you want, whether it goes along with upstream's wishes or not. But as a distro (for lack of a better term; I know LFS isn't technically a distro, but whatever), the book should not use a directory for changeable data when upstream would rather change the source instead of the magic file.
But what about gcc's fixincludes? I have a feeling that upstream would prefer that we didn't grep for, and delete, files that contain the string "DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE". Does it really matter what upstream think?
