Everybody defines stable differently.
For me, LFS is stable. Stable enough to work with it everyday.
In the beginning I had doubts aswell, so I wrote some scripts to
generate, cp, touch and remove thousands of files and directories.
Moved GB of files and crashed the system willfully. As everything went
the way I expected, I was convinced to see it as stable enough for my
purposes.
Everybody should test it herself. Maybe someone is willing to
benchmark it and publish the results.

Zafer.

ps: I'm running two machines with LFS as a root file system :)
