Why do you expect non-geek will know what version of LSB his system complies
with? LSB isn't something innately easier for non-geek to comprehend than
the libc or kernel version. Remember that the concept of standards is just
as foreign to non-geeks as is the concept of kernels. We already advertise
our kernel version. If people don't know it, there is no reason to suppose
they would know the LSB version if we advertised that.
