Why don't you join the mailing lists and see for yourself. I'm there
and I post. SuSE folks are there and they post. Same with lots of
others.

If agreement is reached, yes, I believe folks will implement it. You
are more than skeptical, though, which isn't really fair.
> If they all do agree unanimously to implement what is the timetable.
Unsure. What is the timetable on *any* open source project? I've
never seen one for the kernel, XFree86, or anything. This is yet another
one.

Then scream at your vendor, not me.

That's certainly one opinion. I do not share it, however.
This group is led by the same person who leads the FHS. It has been
very successful. I have no reason to believe the LSB won't be at
least that successful, if not more. These things don't happen overnight,
however. If you want it to move faster then *join* in and get some
things done. That's how this open source thing works. Don't bitch
at me because your timetables aren't being met.
