Quoting http://www.pathname.com/fhs/: The mailing list [1] is available to discuss interpretations of the FHS document and of possible future changes and additions. All proposals should be submitted as bugs on bugs.freestandards.org [2] using the "FHS" component). To be regarded seriously, proposals should include a unified patch to the sgml source (create the attachment after you've opened the bug, please do not cut-and-paste patches into comments). Whether the fact that various packages put files under /usr/libexec reflects a policy we're following for Fedora or is just a mass oversight is a different question.
