Wait, I thought this change was about making the path consistent within Fedora variants? I understand that converging on the same path as OpenSUSE makes sense, but does that mean we should not consider if there's a better alternative? ... And the "sysimage" path makes even less sense to me in the OpenSUSE context, since they don't have an OSTree based variant at all (unless I am mistaken)?
