Ok, can live with that ;)

Still, I think not only we have this LSB 3 problem.
There are still a lot companies around using LSB 3 stuff like this RHEL 4 (as long as the support is
available from RH).

(And I agree that it is a bad idea to do so and we don't do it ourself, still customers demand support
for that old stuff.)
