I'm still on LSB 3.1, because it has everything I need at the present, and
there's lots of work to do on other platforms.

But when RHEL7 and SLES12 appear, I will need an LSB standard to handle
C++11, and 5.0 is the earliest possibility. Since that marks a major
change, refreshing the ISO standard when 5.0 is done fits my needs much
better than updating ISO for LSB 4.1 and then waiting until, say, LSB 6.0.

thanks,
