Except that ISVs don't want another packaging format.
They want to ship .rpm's (and, possibly using alien, .deb's).
They just want a way to make sure their .rpm's and .deb's will
install and run everywhere.
They most definitely don't want anything that will prevent
lsb packages from being handled by normal distro package
managers.
