Thanks for the grins and for clarifying Mark's "LSD" support.
Mark was not very convincing:
<<
In fact, every distro ALWAYS modifies elements of the core, and with
good reason. And while we would love that not to be the case, the truth
is that the reasons to specialize outweigh the benefits of
homogeneity.

It was also ironic he mentioned Unix history. Unix for the desktop was
destroyed by the very inferior Windows 3.1, partly because of Unix
divergence (hard for app suppliers to support many flavors). Posix and
X-windows were
too late to save it. And Windows is much stronger today than it was in
1990.
I see no way to fix bug #1 on the current path. We need an answer for
Michael Dell.

is an attempt to create some useful standards and
cross-platform tools, but Mark Shuttleworth has stated he does not
believe in this.
I think you mean "LSB" (Linux Standard Base) and actually you're wrong:

"LSB-compliance is very important for Ubuntu," said Mark Shuttleworth,
Ubuntu's main backer, in a statement. "We believe that Linux offers
the world freedom of choice, freedom to innovate, and freedom to
localize. The Linux Standard Base is a crucial enabler of those
freedoms, creating confidence in the standardization of the core
platform while still preserving the ability of the platform to evolve
and improve."

I think you got confused by Shuttleworth's dislike of the approach the
DCC Alliance took towards LSB-compatibility:
