It is if you install redhat-lsb.
The only intrinsic reason to care about LSB support is binary
compatibility; Fedora broadly doesn't, but that doesn't mean it's not a
useful end. Personally I've definitely had occasion to need older
builds of things like boost and openssl on newer Fedora releases.
repoquery is also telling me there are things in Fedora that _do_
require redhat-lsb, at least in F16. I can't speak to the particulars
there, you'd need to look into that per-package.
In rawhide, the packages requiring redhat-lsb are:
bcfg2-server
rear
tomcat6
