I know that this is a rehash of previous discussions, but it's a stretch 
to claim that usrmove is against the FHS - the most you can really argue 
is that there's a requirement for recovery tools to be in the root file 
system, but given that there's also a statement that /boot contains 
data used before the kernel starts executing user-space processes it's 
clear that this predates the modern initramfs. It's explicitly permitted 
that the mandated directories in / be symlinks.

under /opt/fedora would be in line with the FHS and also unlikely to 
break anything.
