This is all good but LSB is starting to make Linux look worse than 
Windows, in the Linux world you usually install just what you need on a 
system, on windows you get most of it but some you can add if you need 
it. I think LSB is going to have to start specifying sub parts that can 
be "required" by ISVs and installed only if required.
So an ISV says we need LSB scanning support for our app you install the 
scanning section provided by the LSB compliant distro.
I may have missed that the LSB works like that already but it is not 
obvious to me.
Just my 2 cents,

Chris.
