In discussing the new Java Guidelines, we've run into the question of whether arch-sepcific but non-multilib packages need to use %{_libdir} for files or if they can be placed in %{_prefix}/lib/ on all arches.

So what are thoughts on allowing both 32bit and 64bit binaries into %{_prefix}/lib if those binaries are not part of a package that will be %multilib'd?
Personally, the more i think about it, the more it feels right and makes sense to allow this. In essence, one can consider non-multilib'd %_prefix/lib and %_libexecdir content to be equal policy-wise.
