My main objections would be:

1) filesystem started out as just the FHS dirs
2) We don't want a bunch of orphan directories if things like prelink
   change
3) We don't want to tie package submission on changes that would require
updates on unrelated packages in older distributions.

It's a combination of philosophical (#1) and practical (#2 and #3) concerns.
We could expclitly state this in the draft if you want.
