I'm with avenj on this one. An attempt to standardize what various Unix and Linux distributions do does not extend to a remit to magically create new places to stuff things, and then having people say "but it's the standard, so we have to do it too" /var and /opt already contain more than enough scope to store things like this. It's almost as bad as Dan Bernstein saying "I think that everything should be in /command, so you should just change everything to match that too". That said, all the above comments are aesthetic ones. I don't really care where the default location for something is, because if it doesn't match the de-facto standards already in place across numerous machines and numerous distributions (which this doesn't), we'll just ignore it.
