/usr/libexec isn't a replacement because it's not on any user's PATH.
/usr/games is intended to be added to a regular user's path but not
root's, which is a distinct use case.
Thanks, Simon and Bill. I had forgotten about that point even though it
has come up before (just not in this bug). I agree that's a more
compelling argument for keeping /usr/games.
