But /var may be a different partition, perhaps not yet mounted when hwclock --hctosys is first invoked during bootup. /etc is guaranteed to be on / and to be readable at any time. And since years /etc/adjtime became a well established name. Some other applications and various scripts expect to find the adjfile there. Example adjtimex(1). A smart transition scheme could be to search both places, and use the file where it was found. Scheme overridable by an environment variable ADJTIME_PATH=/other/place/adjtime (to be compatible with the mainline).
