Hi!
(Sorry for top-quote, but on mobile...)
Copy that and FHS states this quite clear. Personally I'm also not a huge fan of
software installing to /opt.
Neither am I a fan of packaging (local) libraries in there - for a variety of reasons. I
even think the Fedora packaging guidelines forbid this.

As long as it's in "/opt", what's the problem? That's what /opt
is
for! Unwielding and resolving individual components of an integrated
tool suite is often a nightmare, which is why puppet, chef, and
numerous commercial packages do the same thing.
Packaging Guidelines for one. My personal belief is that /opt should
only be populated by the local admin, never the distro nor a vendor.
Personally I do so using a scheme like /opt/$VENDOR/$PRODUCT/$RELEASE,
but to my knowledge the FHS has never ratified anything like that. The
FHS seems to take a rather vague stance on /opt overall IMHO.
Could functionally explain the difference then between /usr/local and /opt? Opt has been
for thrid-party/commercial/optional software for as long as I've used *NIX.
/usr/local more for the local admin to build/compile/setup what he/she would like.
Just as a point of record, we do /opt/$VENDOR/$PRODUCT
not so much with the release, but we're close to what you wanted.
