Binaries that should not be executed by the user/administrator do not
belong in bin, they belong in libexec, per long tradition (but not the
current FHS, oddly).

It is in the 3.0 rc2 version here:

If you need a rationale, it could be not to put in the path things that
the admin or user should not directly execute.
