I never said it was. Please do not try and put words in my mouth.

No.

Sure, browse through pub/Linux/linux-standards on sunsite.unc.edu to
follow the discussions on the Standards and see how things were left.
Michael Johnson has posted his directory.7, which describes the
directory standard. For a look at the 'device standard', my
/dev/MAKEDEV is consistent with the MCC release and the 'official'
root/boot disk combination, so it could be considered a de facto
standard.

For the most part, not much got accomplished. The final decisions
still eventually lay with the people who put together the
distributions.
