IMHO, libexecdir is not part of this at all... we already have: 

"If upstream's build scripts support the use of %{_libexecdir} then
that is the most appropriate place to configure it (eg. passing
--libexecdir=%{libexecdir}/%{name} to autotools configure). If
upstream's build scripts do not support that, %{_libdir}/%{name} is a
valid second choice. "

It's all about the choice of lib instead of %{_libdir}. 

I'd love to see this changed/fixed down the road, but it's a lot of
documentation and moving around.
