That's the plan, at least as I understand it. (I am the author of the bc, not an official LFS contributor.)
Right now, I am about to release a new version with a few new features, which I am doing since LFS probably won't import my bc for awhile. (I saw somewhere that LFS releases are 6 months apart.) My plan right now is to release the new version and have at least two months stability before bringing this up again. I figure that should give me plenty of time to make my bc stable and get it into LFS before the next release freeze.
