For us to support LSB: |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
* We'd have to use RPM instead of portage |
| 20 |
* We'd have to support all the daft FHS ideas like /media, /srv and |
| 21 |
/wedonotunderstandtheunixfs |
| 22 |
* We'd have to make X support mandatory |
| 23 |
* We'd have to ship ancient versions of core libraries |
| 24 |
|

In fact, basically, we'd have to become RedHat. |
