Mark, A definitive answer would have to come from MDK on this. So what I'm saying here is based on what I've read, to include parts of the LSB. However this is one big long boring doc... LSB compliance does cause some problems with a number of Desktop type applications and a number of apps you and I never see but exist inside a lot of organizations. Mainly because some things have moved etc. Also some applications in user land just flat refuse to become LSB compliant.. QMail I believe is one of those.
Finally a number of changes have to be made to move these distro's into compliance.. I really don't blame MDK for making their biggest money maker the first one that is compliant. As for the d/l version being compliant. It might be ... it might not.. It cost money if I'm right to get these "certified" and as such... ProSuite went first. (If nothing else the time, machines, and people cost money.) As to why it's an option... See the comment above about the possibility of breaking something... It can and for now does. This will improve but for the moment true... As for the rest... Well anywhere I'm wrong Todd or one of the others can correct me. But this is what I understand to be correct.
