Letting applications install something into system-wide directories

Note that is's not preventable: Python, CPAN, and rubygems all have

We have a Fedora packaging rule which disallows all system-wide
installations outside of rpm's control.
The reasons for this conventions are
* system-consistency
* system-security
* testing
The only gap left open is installing into user private directories.
Can you point to this rule? I'm curious because python's pip does
install into system directories (and it has caused problems with
conflicts with system packages -

--upgrade will happy trash rpm installed files.
