Yeah, this is actually a pretty good way to look at it.

Gerard asked me to compile a list of current suggestions that have been
made in these threads so that no ideas get lost. I was thinking to make
a wiki page somewhere in the current LFS Trac, formatted in such a way
that it is easy to see them at once.

I haven't started it yet, and may not get a chance to do it until
tomorrow. If anyone feels so inclined to start, I'd be grateful for the
help.
