Actually, there is
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Filesystem_Layout
, which restricts even these "very few low-level packages".  Yes, the
best solution is most likely to change the packaging guidelines, at
least until FHS is updated - but that's something that needs to be
done at the very latest at the same time that the packages are
updated.
