Not all Linux distributions are made with the same components, which can make it difficult for software developers to write applications for multiple Linux distributions. That's where the Linux Standards Base (LSB) comes into play. For years the LSB has not quite lived up to its full potential. That could all change with the upcoming LSB 4.0 release.

this will not cause all distros to act as one and kill diversity. what it will do is create a unified set of instructions and requirements that disro's that want to be compient need to follow. this makes life much easier on people like myself who write software having a standard base that is followed by the major distributions.
I am really looking froward to this. this is jsut what linux needs to go mainstream, or at least this is a great step in the right direction.
