Do you still think the LSB has some value?
There are still people out there who think that the LSB has any value. This just means they buy into the advertisement of the people who have monetary benefits from the existence of the specification, they don't do any research, and they generally don't understand ABI issues.
Just look at the recent LSBv3 certification process. Our management got pressured by certain parties into declaring that once again we go through the process. The v3 spec was extended significantly, some new tests were added. And of course, the tests are run against the current code base and using the machines people nowadays use. What is the result of all this: many many reported bugs.
This is nothing new, it has been the case for every test run after an update of the test suite. And the analysis of the failures is also always the same: the bugs are not in the tested code, they are in the test suite. There might be occasionally a problem in the code, I think I've seen one or two of these, but it's safe to say 90 % of the reported bugs are actually problems in the test suite. Look at the LSB bug database and all the reported problems if you doubt that.
Interesting commentary on LSB.
