   This exact text could go into the manual page. The problem now is that this information is in only one location (your head) and no one else knows if 
1) BFBt is orthogonal to to lsc 
2) BFBt is the replacement to lsc
3) BFBt is to be replaced with lsc.
without consulting you.  That's not a good model for software maintenance.
