Up to now, I have kept an LFS 7.5 base for BLFS updating, mainly because all the pages specify that the package has been checked with LFS 7.5. If a package does not build anymore with LFS 7.5, we should remove this specification IMHO.
OTOH, as you say, LFS-SVN has changed enough, so that an update of BLFS is needed. But then, we should agree on which version of LFS-SVN we use for BLFS updates. Let's say that we take LFS-20140428 (well, I have not tried to build it, so that may be a bad choice) until another dramatic change to LFS occurs...
