# Fixes to allow `/var/state` to be used in place of `/var/lib`
+`/var/state` was referenced in the [Filesystem Hierarchy Standard 2.0](http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/fsstnd/fhs-2.0.tar.gz) as superseding
+`/var/lib`, although versions 2.1 and later no longer mention this particular
+configuration. Regardless, supporting `/var/state` (with a symlink from
+`/var/lib` for compatibility) takes very little effort, and the name `state`
+feels like a much better fit with respect to the intended contents.
