Nonsense!  LFS has been in the source tree for a *very* long time (since
at least the 4.4BSD-Lite code came in).

Well, while there are still bugs, it's been shaken out quite a bit
in the last few months by Konrad Schroder, and works pretty well,
for the most part.  However, LFS isn't good for all types of workloads,
so this is one of the reasons it's not more widely used.
