This is actually specifically addressed in FHS 3.0, released, actually,
_just this week_. See
http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/lsb/fhs-30
and specifically
http://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/FHS_3.0/fhs/ch03s13.html
and the provider list:
http://www.lanana.org/lsbreg/providers/providers.txt
which includes Fedora. (Credit to Tom and Toshio for working on this.)
