The effect of this is:
FPC will write into the Guidelines (probably where libexec is mentioned
since that's where the note about being able to use %{_libdir} as an

unitfiles have been granted a special exception to install into
%{_prefix}/lib instead of %{_libdir}.
This should mean that nothing changes in the systemd packages or in packages
which provide unitfiles. They are already installing into those locations.
Thanks, but I think the bit I'm mising is why can't systemd use
libexec? (Apart from their declaration that libexec is wrong or not
the de-facto standard they themselves made up, which is not a reason).
Also Matthew said "Unit files need to be in /", but libexec is in
"/",
unless the whole UsrMove thing was pointless.
