10 you said but didnt explain why it's "special". these are merely caches of
11 external overlays and xml caches of overlay lists. if people are concerned
12 with pining a version, then they should be extracting to their own overlay
13 since a mere sync is going to drop it (just like /usr/portage/). if you want
14 to call it state data, then it'd be /var/lib/layman/ ...
