Those of us who see /opt as an okay place to put (some of the files

others argue that we're late to the party. Since this is an area that
the sysadmin is allowed to install into, the sysadmin may already have
used the vendor string that we choose to install something else
(that's why I use "fdr" instead of "fedora" in the above
example...
the chances of a collision with "fedora" seem even higher). We would
then be overwriting their installed software which is not allowed.
Looks like upstream FHS is committed to resolving this. See
https://bugs.linuxfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1164. The upshot is that
/opt/fedora will be explicitly reserved for our use. (This is not yet
official but there does not seem to be any opposition.)
