Thanks, but I think the bit I'm mising is why can't systemd use
libexec? (Apart from their declaration that libexec is wrong or not
the de-facto standard they themselves made up, which is not a reason).
Because libexec doesn't exist on most other distributions,
libexecdir is part of the GNU standards for ages.
The "GNU standard" is kinda flawed and nobody uses that as 1:1.
Utter nonsense.
I mean,
/usr/etc? /usr/var?? /us/com???
"Defaults" == they need to be adapted to a specific distro's requirements.
It's probably more interesting in looking at the more realistic
"standards", such as FHS, and on what is actually really implemented,
rather than on GNU which is really mostly theory... I mean, not even
Debian as the distro closest to GNU follows much of that...
Read it again. It's a guideline distros need to adapt to their demands.
And guess what? All distros have done so, and RH also has done so until
this UseMove crap came alone and FUBARed Linux (I know your opinion
differs, but you will not be able to change my mind on it),
I disagree. systemd simply hasn't taken libexecdir into account in
its design and now is trying to propagate their oversight/mistake as
"standard" instead of making their works compliant with _our_
distro's demands.
No, we just look around, and try to do something that is not specific to
a distro, somewhat sane and follows the schemes of the established to
the level where they make sense.
That's not how I perceive what you are doing.
You should start to consider that there are reasons behind how things
are - Many people have invested their brains into it for decades.
