In the BLFS book lsb-release-1.4 is used. However, this seems very old

Can anyone explain this to me?
There really isn't an 'upstream' version of lsb-release, but only a
reference implementation. Each distro then implements their own.
We just use the reference release. It is, after all, only a fairly
short shell script. Looking at the code, there are some specifics
looking for Debian or RedHat specific stuff. Although I can see that
changing to meet those distros needs, I don't see where it would apply
to LFS.
You don't say where this '"new" LSB site' site is located.

If I understand correctly it is at
http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/lsb
I seems to me that this is the new place as was stated on the original
page BLFS was pointing to (top line).
Maybe it is nothing, just was curious when I checked things.
