actually, things have been rejected or at least slowed down in adoption into 
the LSB due to not being also available on Solaris among other operating 
systems.

today it is a bit unfortunate that the 'l' stands for linux since it puts some 
awkward political space there for other operating systems, though the 
origination of this particular effort being within the linux world is 
probably fitting from a cultural historical perspective.

it would be terrific if in the future, however, we managed to get over the "l 
word"[1] and found a new meeting place for the unixy operating systems of the 
world.

[1] no, not *that* 'l' word, though it is a good show =)
