If it is a Fedora package, then it should integrate into the system
directories. If it is a third-party package that doesn't follow
Fedora's packaging standards, then this is what /opt is for. "ros" is
registered as a provider name for the Open Source Robotics Foundation
(http://www.lanana.org/lsbreg/providers/providers.txt), so if that's
the ROS we're talking about, then /opt/ros is right.

That doesn't answer the question about SCLs though.
