Besides that, what and where users put things underneath of $HOME is not a distro's busness

Is it really that simple?
- We respect the ancient traditions of ~/bin and ~/man.
- We respect the XDG specification for ~/.local/share
- This discussion: we respect ~/.local/bin, even if it's unclear if it's in the XDG spec. - As Daniel Walsh pointed out in this thread, the selinux setup respect also ~/.local/bin

Bottom line: Fedora is not completely agnostic as to where users have their stuff, there are some assumptions.

OTOH, all these could be defined as coming from some kind of "upstream". Perhaps the proper solution here is to patch the XDG specification so that it becomes clear on ~/local/bin (and probably also ~/.local/lib). Since Lennart Poettering is one of (the?) main contributor(s) to this spec and also have been advocating the use of ~/.local/bin it should be feasible.
