Hi,

Sorry for delay ... 

I'm planing bring redhat-lsb to epel9 soon , because will avoid many
confusions .

  
lsb_release-shim-el9 and
https://github.com/thkukuk/lsb-release_os-release is very interesting
for me, I will check 

Basically we need or should provide /usr/bin/lsb_release which gives
information of the system like [1] , all the rest is meta packages and
meta information that I think we don't need and in others cases are
completely obsolete, but have a tool which identify the operating
system in a standard way, I think is still valid .
