+This is the good idea! I've looked into some other distros, Fedora 
+despite absent MySpell still uses the old location for dictionaries. 
+Distros like Arch, Debian, Ubuntu keep files in %{_datadir}/hunspell/* 
+and use symlinks in %{_datadir}/myspell/*. Gentoo uses common packages 
+for both spell-checkers.
+
+I favour installing files into %{_datadir}/hunspell/* and to keep 
+symlinks in %{_datadir}/myspell/* as the backward compatibility.
