If you put it in /usr/lib/foo/ on 64bit machines, then I can see phasing
out libexec, but as an upstream with some scripts but also binary
helpers, I have consciously avoid the /usr/lib{64} usage and kept things
in libexec. In fact, I moved some stuff from /usr/lib*/foo/ to libexec
to get less headaches.

I don't see
that libexec is actually giving us some kind of huge win to justify the
inconveniences.

Sorry, what is the inconvenience of libexec?
