Fair enough. I take your point. I know that the FHS has modified some

Again, I'd prefer to see them under /lib,
rather than /usr.
While I'm often an advocate of creative interpretation of any
standard, the FHS in this case is so crystal clear that I don't see
how /lib is a viable suggestion
/lib is clearly intended for essential libraries and modules needed to
get the system booting

The /usr hierarchy on the otherhand is intended for 'shareable, read-only
data'
http://www.pathname.com/fhs/2.2/fhs-4.1.html
Given under this model distro-provided configuration files like
/usr/etc would be intended to be read-only and shareable across
similar openSUSE installations, to be then overridden by host-specific
overrides in /etc, I absolutely think the suggestion of using /usr is
a far better choice than putting any of this new stuff in /lib
