+1 - I think /srv is a good dir to have in place to encourage good
practices for storing that kind of data.
I think it is very unlikely that the services will start to use /srv/
instead of /var/something because of the backward compatibility. I
create my own dir for data and it seemed to me that most people are
doing the same. Thats why I wondered if there is any use for this dir.
