Comment (by ken):

 Replying to [comment:1 jim]:
 > Just because LFS has something doesn't mean CLFS will follow that same
 direction. As far as using the internal Zlib, the version included with
 Perl is the same as the book. Why should we change it, there is not
 technical merit to making the change.

 For the zlib question, it's a question of how secure you expect your
 system to be, and how you intend to fix known vulnerabilities.  If there
 is another vulnerability found in zlib, first you have to find what used
 the system's static version (by grepping in your build logs) - e.g.
 module-init-tools, but if you allow packages to use their own versions of
 common libs it all gets a little bit harder.

 FWIW, I had adding the patch to CLFS on my To Do list.
