Yeah.  In current releases the files are hardlinked across
/usr/bin and /usr/libexec.  I've never seen any bug reports
about that causing actual problems.  I made the change after
noticing the cross-directory hardlink warning from rpmlint.

It should really be an unnoticable change to nearly
everyone, apart from those rare people that want to mount
/usr/bin and /usr/libexec on different file systems
