And the problem with this was always it fixed apache without fixing all
the other users, since new toplevel dirs in /var are actually
discouraged. At least with /srv/, you don't limit the coverage to one
app, or even all the currently existing apps.

/var/www always felt too apache-centric, but I guess everyone was so
hapy to dump /home/httpd no one cared at the time.
