After having installed the logstash-5.4.0.rpm on a CentOS 7 machine, the permissions under /usr/share/logstash are incorrect.

"rpm -V logstash" reports many warnings like:  
.....UG.. /usr/share/logstash

This comes from the following post-install snippet:  
chown -R logstash:logstash /usr/share/logstash

Is there any reason why the Logstash software is not owned by root:root like all the other pieces of software on CentOS?
