So, while I think the LSB is a nice idea, It's more marketing to me than
anything.
Please explain why any file has to move to keep up with Linux changes.
File locations themselves have always been arbitrary and within a system
one place is just as good as another. The LSB has value exactly to the
extent that every distribution follows it to the point that 3rd party
software will work without regard to the distribution and I don't see
that happening without installer contortions yet. Other changes
without backwards compatible symlinks just break things and are annoying.
