It's so much easier to do this:

        1) LANANA only approves init.d script names that begin with
        "lsb-".
        2) Distros don't use names starting with "lsb-" except in the
        way specified by LANANA.

No communication needed except between someone requesting a name from
LANANA and LANANA itself. Given that there are hundreds of Linux
distributions that potentially need to be involved, I suspect the
communication overhead is ridiculous even if only a few tens of them
actually are involved.
