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,
libexecdir is part of the GNU standards for ages.
Other distros set --libexecdir=/usr/lib instead of providing a separate one.
and systemd
aims to offer consistent interfaces across distributions.
I disagree. systemd simply hasn't taken libexecdir into account in its
design and now is trying to propagate their oversight/mistake as
"standard" instead of making their works compliant with _our_ distro's
demands.
