this is insane.   traditionally in Unix-like systems, /usr is supposed 
to be able to be read only and sharable between multiple systems, for 
instance in NFS boot scenarios.   /var is specifically for host-specific 
complex configuration and status stuff like /var/logs   /var/state  
/var/run   and so forth.
