While Fedora is not necessarily 'enterprise' in all its senses, I've seen
many enterprises that take 'outside of the OS' to imply 'stored in different
locations, on shared storage, on the network'. A location under /opt makes
this simpler than a location that would live directly under /usr, and would
match other third-party software possibly managed in that way.
