Sure, managing a Live-CD is a good amount of effort. 

But i think here it is not yet defined to which extend the CD should go. I
assume the idea to reanimate the LFS-CD is kind of fresh, so it might not
yet sure whether all the stuff (X, Xfce, I18n, etc...) should be on it or
not.
Or it might be a bare minimal CD providing an OS with which LFS can be
built, maybe with the book, the sources and a text browser on it.
It could also be a project only telling how to build a CD which is bootable
here and there and what is to be done and when to get there. LFS wouldn't
need to maintain their own CD (while it would be a nice service for the
users). This would then give the user the opportunity to maintain their own
CDs.

And thanks for the link. It shows how well equiped the LFS-CD was in those
days.
