Why does freebsd not support it?

[Xin LI/李鑫]

I think the reason why there is not LFS support is, the LFS code dies out in
the tree for a long while and porting from other BSDs is not trivial. In
addition, pratically, Soft Updates will be better in many aspects, I guess
this is the primary reason why there is not a LFS support available.

I think it will be valuable to have a read-only LFS support in FreeBSD.
However, I don't think it's a heavily desireable feature, because Soft
Updates does well in most cases.
