The following statement in above mentioned Note is not quite correct, I think: "If you recompile Vim to link against X and your X libraries are not on the root partition, you will no longer have an editor for use in emergencies." Even if Vim cannot be used, there still would be *sed*, at least in an LFS/BLFS-system. And in an emergency sed might be enough to save your day - if you think of that possibility. So I think that sed should be mentioned in the Note, like in "...you will no longer have an editor other than sed for use in emergencies." Alternatively, "editor" should be defined more clearly.
