Exactly. Changing system default without any justification is going to
make admins cry. I'm one of them.

Admins changing their settings because they think /var/lib is weird is
not going to confuse the same admin.

I'm a sysadmin. I say: Please don't do this. I'm fine with /var/lib and
I don't want unnecessary changes that I have to deal with when
upgrading.
