Perhaps a new init system will allow for us to place these files somewhere other than /etc and really drive the point home that these files are not for configuration.
Just a FYI, LSB doesn't obviously necessarily apply to everything, but here's some related pointers, they seem to be thinking about related things for future LSB revisions.

And BTW, for what it's worth, it's /etc/init.d, not /etc/rc.d/init.d in LSB - so it might not hurt to treat /etc/init.d as the "canonical" path in Fedora wherever it is hardcoded into even though there is the symlink between the two.
