And back in the real world the major developers have better things to do
than this. Same problem as with parts of OSDL - they made they same
arguments but well I can still get a laugh in a room full of Linux
developers just by saying "Carrier Grade Linux".

The LSB workgroup is indeed quite open I agree, but it isn't
representative of the broader base. Whose fault that is doesn't actually
matter.
