Thanks, but I think the bit I'm mising is why can't systemd use
libexec? (Apart from their declaration that libexec is wrong or not
the de-facto standard they themselves made up, which is not a reason).
Because libexec doesn't exist on most other distributions, and systemd
aims to offer consistent interfaces across distributions.
Shouldn't binaries which are part of the external interface reside in
/usr/sbin?
No. /usr/sbin was used for sys-admin binaries, which were not required
during bootup and not useful to ordinary users.
Since Fedora has fallen into the UsrMove-trap, this argument is moot on
Fedora.
If the paths are not part of the interface, cross-distribution
consistency shouldn't matter (as seen with git, for example).
Correct. That's what the GCS are recommending libexecdir is for.
