Incidentally, it was a huge mess to get that change in Fedora, as the
units were supposed to be in /usr/share/systemd instead, while the
binaries were in /usr/libexec/systemd. The change was made (under
protest) because systemd guys wanted the paths to be exactly the same
everywhere for systemd units and things. I continue to disagree with
this change and I would rather see it fixed at some point, but this is
not about the peculiarities of systemd.
