Yes I know that FHS allows it. I still think it would be cleaner to use
/usr/libexec.

It's the usual difference between trying to be right and being pragmatic
about it.

You (and Kay) want to be right ignoring the fact that $tons of software
expects /usr/lib to just be another $libdir.

I'd rather be pragmatic and choose /usr/libexec which _clearly_ isn't.
