So Fedora has completely discarded any notion of backwards compatibility. Sad.
There's a difference between *claiming* LSB compliance (what you refer to as backwards compatibility ?) and actually *achieving* it. Claiming it (the thing we objected to) without achieving it (i.e. the status quo for many Fedora releases) is a lie that helps nobody.
