It has come to my attention that recent decisions made by the Linux Standard Base body (I hesitate to say "committee" as I have never been party to any of their internal discussions and am unaware of their internal organizational structrure) are possibly unwise and have been determined by at least a few individuals as A Bad Thing. Particularly worth note are several i386isms and other things which those who have spoken already feel are oversights with potentially disasterous results.
Reasonable objection notwithstanding, I intend to write a letter to those responsible for the LSB to attempt to raise the issues we have with their current proposal. I would appreciate discussion on these issues in other parts of this thread. I encourage those who have a significant opinion not yet voiced in the LSB thread found on debian-devel to write them down either as part of the thread or directly to me to aid in the drafting of this letter. For those who missed the thread on -devel, relevant URLs can be found at http://ct.us.mirrors.freshmeat.net/news/1999/01/18/916679929.html -- "I'm working in the dark here."
