Generally because LSB is around for a reason.  Whether init scripts
themselves are important or not, or whether the LSB chose the best init
script method to standardize on, I can't say, but if Fedora as a whole
ignores LSB compliance for technical merit, then there really isn't any
point to every trying to get Linux on a consumer desktop.  Ever.

Surely there's a way to get LSB-style initscripts to run with this
minit, yes?  There's no saying the core system has to operate LSB style
(just like Debian mainly uses DEBs, but can install LSB RPMs), only that
the facilities are available for LSB compliance.
