I came to this mailing list due to this comment.

I do system administration work and needed LSB in RHEL for my work.
Not sure if you were looking for a reaction...
The LSB project is essentially abandoned - partially superseded by other
approaches to achieving application portability/stability that are now
in vogue (e.g. Snaps, Flatpaks, and to some extent Docker containers)...
not that surprised that Red Hat has phased out the packages, with the
non-availability of aarch64 support, something which LSB itself is never
going to get to doing; and indeed, the old versions of libraries I'd
agree are problematic.
The single lsb_release command I find quite useful, but at this point
it's pretty much lying, as one of its reporting functions is to tell
which LSB modules are supported. There is a sample implementation if you
find the Fedora/RHEL one problematic to keep alive after they phase it out:
https://github.com/linuxstandardbase/lsb-samples
No longer recall how functional it is.
