That would be great yes.

So now that I was digging into dracut, and I think you are correct
putting them in /usr/lib. Simply because its for the boot system. For
the regular system in fedora 64 bit libraries go in lib64, binaries not
intended to be called by a user go in libexec. However when I looked at
a initramfs there were a bunch of program called binaries in /usr/lib.
So um hopefully you didn't make any big changes on this part...
I've started to dig into dracut. Hopefully I can make some headway there
today...
