The GNU Standards define it as: sharedstatedir' The directory for installing architecture-independent data files which the programs modify while they run. On Fedora it evaluates to /var/lib, which is a meaningful setting. %{_prefix}/com matches to the default the GNU Standards describe, but in a distro's constext, this would seem to be "simply plain wrong" to me == I consider the setting on CentOS to be a bug.
