My serious problems with LFS date back to 1.4R or something, way
before 1.5, when some work had been done to make it work again at all,
mostly out of curiosity. Back then there was no correcting fsck_lfs at
all, and LFS developed errors during normal use quite often, meaning I
had to newfs_lfs the partition every other day.

Then in 1.5 (and 1.5.1, too, iirc) there were some problems with the
cleanerd leaking memory, but since 1.5.2 it's been mostly been running
fine. I feel no pressing need to use it for /usr (except that it might
be nice to be able to skip fsck after a crash, but then again, NetBSD
doesn't really crash that often :)), but it's really nice for pkgsrc.
