Hi,

Could you elaborate why?
Binary policy only changes due to administrator action, not when just
running things. I'd usually expect data in /var to change during normal
operation, and stuff in /etc only change due to administrator action. I
think this is more important than the fact that binary policy is not a
textfile.
Also, this could be a security feature, as /var has to be mounted
read/write, while /etc could potentially be mounted read-only. Although
I don't know if this is feasible in practice at the moment.

Cheers,

Mika
