I'm with avenj on this one. |

An attempt to standardize what various Unix and Linux distributions do |
| 8 |
does not extend to a remit to magically create new places to stuff |
| 9 |
things, and then having people say "but it's the standard, so we have to |
| 10 |
do it too" |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
/var and /opt already contain more than enough scope to store things |
| 13 |
like this. |

It's almost as bad as Dan Bernstein saying "I think that everything |
| 16 |
should be in /command, so you should just change everything to match |
| 17 |
that too". |

That said, all the above comments are aesthetic ones. I don't really |
| 20 |
care where the default location for something is, because if it doesn't |
| 21 |
match the de-facto standards already in place across numerous machines |
| 22 |
and numerous distributions (which this doesn't), we'll just ignore it. |
