[Fedora-directory-devel] Starting Fedora DS without shell scripts?

[Steve Parkinson]

In all currently released versions, libraries were installed into an 
application-specific directory (e.g. /opt/fedora-ds). It's only recently 
that the libraries are put into /usr/lib.

So, I guess the scripts are a relic which made it so you didn't have to 
add those directories to LD_LIBRARY_PATH yourself.
