Not really. docs are a different case because people actually need to go
looking for & find them. If we have a release with things spread between
/lib and /libexec it's not as big a deal as telling people "usually your
docs are under /usr/doc, but you might want to check /usr/share/doc
also. This is documented in the docs. :)" As long as programs can find
their *own* libexec's and dependencies are handled properly, I don't see
why a partial libexec transition is impossible.
