This is simply not possible in Fedora:

Should an exception be allowed - or is the rule so rigid ?

Anything under /usr/local (except of the basic directory layout) is supposed to be 100% under a user's control and not to be touched by distributions.

Somewhat oversimplified, this means /usr/local is off-limits of Fedora, no exceptions allowed.
