Linux Standard Base / Fedora

Hello:

Is Fedora Core 6 LSB 3.0 compliant?  I wasn't able to find any
information on FC6's lsb-compliance state on the web or in the FC6
release notes, where possibly in the future it would be a good idea to
mention FC's compliance or non-compliance.  According to the Free
Standards Group FC5 was in fact not LSB-compliant
(<http://www.freestandards.org/en/LSB_Distribution_Status>).  I think
the new thing is to be LSB 3.1 compliant now.  What are Fedora's
commitments to the LSB, if any?  The LSB seems to be an organization
trying hard to unite Linux distributions when everyone else is
fighting for their piece of the marketplace.  Nothing wrong with
competition, but if there is to be fierce competition it would really
help to have a strong Linux Standard Base to compete on.
