The dividing line that Fedora nad most other distributions take these days
is whether the OS vendor is providing it as part of the OS.  If you are
saying that Fedora itself is not going to be packaging these dsc's then you
could use /opt.  However, if you want this to be something that Fedora
packages, /opt is going to be the wrong directory.  (The whole concept may
not be suitable for Fedora but I'm hoping not to have to decide that
until/unless I see a complete proposal :-)
