I have been asked by Bruce to maintain a branch of sysV LFS/BLFS and 
intend on doing so. I will make every attempt to maintain a system that 
is stable, tested, and current. How long a sysV system can exist is what 
I want to find out. I'll be working hard at this project and I'm certain 
others will contribute to it. Details will follow after I finish 
building a few instances of the current 13.0 and start testing BLFS. I 
read every commit post and I'm aware of changes that can affect the sysV 
side. Please, calm your concerns. -- Randy
