I have to say that a. xdg (in the form of Lennart) already is in the loop b. xdg doesn't require (or even suggest) ~/.local/bin and therefore c. This issue is purely Fedora-local, at least for the time being. Maybe xdg will decide to endorse ~/.local/bin; maybe not. Either way, it may be that this change to Fedora is premature.
