Been that way since at least FC4.
I have a script that installed some stuff in /usr/local for fc4 and it had to
   echo "/usr/local/lib" > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/usrlocal-i386.conf
for those programs to work.

we forget these things, when we install using .spec files that default to 
putting all programs in /usr/ vs /usr/local. :)
