random thoughts from the peanut gallery: |

Last time a flame war broke out over FHS, I did a bit of research on |
| 8 |
that very subject. It seems that /usr/libexec is an idiom from our |
| 9 |
brothers in the BSD world. |

I would have to agree that /usr/lib/misc would be better than |
| 12 |
/usr/libexec, but labeling anything "misc" always feels like a cop-out |
| 13 |
to me. Then again, /usr/lib/misc would be the logical compliment to |
| 14 |
/var/lib/misc and /usr/share/misc. |

Looking in my own /usr/libexec, though, it seems like everything there |
| 17 |
already has a better place somewhere else. Some could go in /usr/bin or |
| 18 |
/usr/sbin (e.g. mozilla-launcher). Some really should be in /usr/lib |
| 19 |
(e.g. libattr.a and libattr.la). Some could find a home in a specific |
| 20 |
subdirectory of /usr/lib (e.g. gnome-applets). |
