So shouldn't redhat-lsb or some subpackage be the one that pull that
part ?

As I do not think that Fedora is out of the box LSB compliant, I do not
think that's a strong reason ( even if "not breaking outside stuff"
could be something that matter ).

In fact, if we were serious at supporting it, we would have it as a
release criteria. I think we don't, and I think no one was interested
into having it ( or rather, interested enough to do the job ).

Also, regarding LSB compliance, do we want to consider all products to
be LSB compliant by default, as I can perfectly see the cloud product
being more interested into cleaning than lsb ?

Then how can we signal to people that they need to update those
packages ?
 
Because we can as well say "we are gonna support that forever", but that
will result into bitrot if no one really test.
