Glad everyone agrees on that ;-)

Why? The /etc and /var distinction is usefull because administrators
know that the files in /etc are theirs and theirs alone to edit to
change the behavior of the system.

/var is not to be edited. Much of it isn't even text. There is a
significant difference, and one that is important for running the
system.

Why is the distinction between /lib and /libexec important?
