FWIW, part of the motivation here is being able to have a common 
security policy for this kind of data, e.g. for SELinux.  When modules 
like mod_md/mod_dav want to drop data at $Root/$Random_Name it is 
hard/impossible to have SELinux policy which allows modules to work by 
default.  If we have three categories of data separated into three 
directories:

- run-time data: root-writable, temporary, readable by unprivileged children
- log data: root-writable, *append-only* data (open fails w/o O_APPEND)
- state data: unprivileged children have random access read/write

we can have SELinux policy which "just works", without needing custom 
policy rules for mod_dav, and for mod_md, etc etc.

Two patches attached: 

a) PoC implementation of StateDir/ap_state_dir_relative()

b) patches showing how this can be used in modules/.  Note this does 
move the hard-coded default MdStoreDir for 2.5.x

I'll commit later in the week if there is no feedback.

Regards, Joe
