Seriously, mine is going to be a huge veto here with as much power I can
put.

There is a _reason_ why stuff is added to /var/lib instead of having

/var/postgres
/var/mysql
/var/foobar
/var/wtf
/var/wth
/var/imtired

...

As I said on other messages before (which you probably missed since you
ask "Why not?"), putting it in /var/lib or /var/db or /var/cache makes
it explicit how you should handle its backup.

/var/portage ? I have to look it up manually.

Let's to things properly instead of how it looks cooler.
