The Linux From Scratch community is pleased to announce the release of 
LFS Version 11.0, LFS Version 11.0 (systemd), BLFS Version 11.0, and 
BLFS Version 11.0 (systemd).

This release is a major update to both LFS and BLFS.

The reason for the major release number increment is that this version 
no longer uses the "split-user" system. That is, like most current 
distributions, /bin is a symbolic link to /usr/bin. Likewise, /lib and 
/sbin are both symbolic links to their /usr counterparts.

The LFS release includes updates to gcc-11.2.0, glibc-2.34, and 
binutils-2.37. The Linux kernel has also been updated to version 
5.13.12. Changes to text have been made throughout the book. The Linux 
kernel has also been updated to version 5.13.12.

The BLFS version includes approximately 1000 packages beyond the base 
Linux From Scratch Version 10.0 book. This release has over 900 updates 
from the previous version in addition to numerous text and formatting 
changes.

Thanks for this release goes to many contributors.  Notably:

Douglas Reno
Pierre Labastie
Ken Moffat
Thomas Trepl
Tim Tassonis
Xi Ruoyao
DJ Lucas
