That's not a valid example. This discrepancy is exactly what the
defaults are intended to preserve. The whole point is that stuff sourced
from your distribution and stuff you build yourself from source code
wind up in two different places so you can easily tell one from the
other (and, in the worst case, wipe out /usr/local and know you're back
at a stock system).

This is not a useful case to argue that *all* upstream defaults
shouldn't be considered in setting Fedora defaults.
