The section of the Packaging Guidelines covering /srv was amended to
include /opt and /usr/local. Specifically, the following sentence was
added:

   In addition, no Fedora package can have any files or directories
   under /opt or /usr/local, as these directories are not permitted to
   be used by Distributions in the FHS.

Can I ask you where specifically you found the statement, that distributions 
cannot place their data under /opt?

"/opt is reserved for the installation of add-on application software packages."

In this context, "add-on application software packages" are meant to be interpreted as "non-OS vendor supplied" packages.
