Should /var/opt be considered "shared instance data" too ?
My reading of filesystem(5) is that it should as unbundled
software should also have access to a location that would
survive between BE updates.
----
Standards, Environments, and Macros filesystem(5)
/var/opt
Root of a subtree for varying files associated with
optional software packages. An approved installation
location for add-on system software and applications.

I ask because the LDoms Manager stores its configuration database
in /var/opt/SUNWldm/ and this proposal solves a problem we've had
all along in S10 and OpenSolaris. Thanks!
