> LSB was a good idea.  But it was also DOA.

An unexpected result, considering the amount of heat that was generated in discussions leading
up to the LSB.

Back then Michael McLagan was promoting his own Linux standardization effort, and it was
supposed to be the end of the world if he succeeded.  At least that's how it was portrayed by
quite a lot of people at the time.  And Patrick had a medium-large cow about the LSB too, but
I think he got over it.

And now here we are with LSB 3.2, which is pretty much a non-event.  All the glowing embers of
passion have turned to ash and blown away, a long, long time ago...
