we already have, done special things to support it look how many
libraries appear in /lib now a days despite their original build
system wanting it in /usr and I still get atleast 50 warnings on it
wanting more in /lib and I am sure someone will send patches
for it because they hate the warning and then we will have this
growing pile of patches
to maintain. So IMO it has already started to hurt us.
