Sigh, indeed.

"In addition, Fedora packages MUST NOT place files or directories in the 
/bin, /sbin, /lib or /lib64 directories. Instead, the /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, 
/usr/lib, and /usr/lib64 directories must be used. Packages must assume that 
/bin, /sbin, /lib, and /lib64 are symbolic links to the /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, 
/usr/lib, and /usr/lib64 directories, respectively."
