Why does this matter? The init scripts in RHEL/Fedora aren't meant to be

All we should care is that you can install a LSB compliant application
on our distro and that it's LSB compliant init script will work as
required by LSB.
What if LSB compliant application needs correct return codes of stripts
that initialize the services (if something is broken)? And btw. there
are guidelines for initscripts in RHEL that are equivalent to LSB and
directly points you to LSB... I can give you link if you're interested.

The fewer commands the script runs the shorter is the startup time,
something we really care about.

That is true, however, previous construction is completely wrong if you
think about it... It is just same as if for example ifconfig eth0 up
returns code 0 when eth0 does not exist.
