I don't believe anyone has paid to submit it for formal testing.
Did someone submit FC5 for formal testing?
No. That is basically what Alan Cox said.
Is FC6 expected to pass
LSB-3.0 or LSB-3.1?
Noone has tested that. My understanding is that LSB is a trailing edge
standard for ISV (usually proprietary applications) which means they
look at what distributions like Red Hat Enterprise Linux and SLES do
commonly and bless that as a standard. That works when distribution
stick with a base set of libraries and programs and backport fixes. For
a fast moving distribution like Fedora even if a general release is said
to be compliant, any of the updates might deviate from that since many
components dont have any ABI compatibility guidelines (with a few like
GTK as exceptions) and since new revisions of the standards wont be put
out as fast as Fedora releases, this is unlikely to work out.
