I don't like it either. And it's not FHS compliant anyway: From FHS: ---- /var/lib : Variable state information Purpose This hierarchy holds state information pertaining to an application or the system. State information is data that programs modify while they run, and that pertains to one specific host. Users must never need to modify files in /var/lib to configure a package's operation. ---- I think it's perfectly ok for sysops to put their completions either in /usr/share/bash-completion/modules or directly in /etc/bash_completion.d if they want. > > > The OS and sysadmin distinction is there primarily to ensure that sysadmins > > and OS/package defaults don't stomp on each other.
