Because /var/ mixes long-term and transient data, generic and implementation-specific stuff, local and global data, and makes backup stategies a PITA for everything but SOHO contexts. People have little wish to comb /var and triage the different categories (no more than they had the wish to comb /home when it mixed human users and software users) Good backup is expensive backup so bulk-var-backup is not scaling In case of general system failure, or major release update, you're better of without a lot of /var contents, because some stuff is easier to set up again than take the risk of restoring a rotten state -- Nicolas Mailhot -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
