It will cause a large number of users to silently have a different library search path than they have had before, something that has been fairly stable for several years. So whatever we do must be considered very carefully.


Haven't thought about that! If I don't install to `/usr/lib`, I usually only install one software per prefix but there might be cases where that is not true.

What do you propose? Should I send an RFC to cfe-dev?
