To save a large discussion about the merits of the LSFH on the GNUstep 
list, I'd suggest you read through the LSFH document, read the article 
posted at the developer.linuxstep.org site, and take a look at the 
archives for the LinuxSTEP-General mailing list.

If you have any further questions, feel free to drop me an email, or 
join in the discussion on the mailing lists.

I look forward to hearing your thoughts. :)
