The last time this had been brought up, it sounded like those were packaging mistakes, and that binaries being installed into /usr/lib64 needed to be fixed anyway. I don't know how many of those are like that (I don't have an easy way to get all the spec files and grep through them like I do for Fedora package specs...), but I think those would just be fixed so that binaries would be installed correctly into /usr/libexec.

What does this change mean for all the configuration files and *.d directories below /usr/lib?

Should they stay there? Should they be moved, too? Or do we agree on another directory for them?

For now, I'm not touching those, but I'm pretty sure moving those is something that will probably happen with the /usr/sysconfig proposal[1].

I hope so, too ;) But I'm also pretty sure that the FHS will not make anything about this, we have to decide and do it at our own. I only wanted to know, as I'm pretty sure, that some packages uses libexecdir for this stuff, too.
