Hi all,
little question (that could start up a flame): what's the official status 
of /usr/libexec directory?

I was told on IRC time ago to prefer /usr/$(get_libdir)/misc to libexec 
because that's already ABI-specified... but I'm not really sure.
/usr/libexec is already used by many upstream packages, starting from FreeBSD 
itself, and while it's true that /usr/$(get_libdir)/misc is ABI safe, I don't 
really like thinking of moving executables in a subdirectory of lib for ABI's 
sake.. or we'll end up having /usr/$(get_libdir)/binaries instead 
of /usr/bin ...

So, as the documentation about that seems not to be clear, what's its status?
