errata: some reword about security advisory
Do not use "whether there are any known security vulnerabilities"
because it's highly unlikely there was none.

Many people just build LFS for an experiment, then they don't need to
maintain their system.  The maintaining is only necessary for a real
desktop or server system.

eaf26ea596 Edited for style, idiom, and punctuation. Emphasized the need to continue
applying security patches even after LFS is "complete".

prologue/why: mention that less is used by many packages
Why remove "used by man-db"?  Now some user may think "I don't use this
thing, I'll just use vim" and skip it :(.

prologue/standards: rewrite LSB description
Well, somehow this paragraph has become too imprecise.

1. We don't support IA64.  Both Intel and AMD uses x86_64 now, which is
   referred as "AMD64" because it's first proposed by AMD.  Intel
   attempted to use IA64 (which is a VLIW architecture completely
   different with x86_64) to compete with AMD64, but failed.  Then Intel
   adapted x86_64.
2. The architecture specific part belongs to Core and Desktop.
3. LFS cannot conform to both AMD64 and IA32 because we don't support
   multilib.  It's "or", not "and".
