In general, LFS does not need this - but obviously we give you the
freedom to change whatever you do ("your system, your rules").

In particular, we assume that you will build on the machine where
the kernel will run, and also that you may need to rebuild the kernel
several times (for additional .config choices) depending on what
parts of BLFS you build. And we do not provide a package manager.
So I submit that we are the people least likely to need this.
