FWIW, I don't think the FHS has been fixed correctly WRT libexecdir, even though it points to GNU Coding Standards (which is equivalent to how Fedora interprets libexec): FHS [1] says: /usr/libexec includes internal binaries that are not intended to be executed directly by users or shell scripts. ... .. why there is the part ".. or shell scripts?". How a shell script differs from other (binary) programs? GNU standards [2] say "The directory for installing executable programs to be run by other programs rather than by users.".
