By the way, maybe it would be good to think about the meaning of

but "The methodology used to name subdirectories of /srv is
unspecified as there is currently no consensus on how this should be
done" - so even the authors of the standard did not have anything to
say about how this directory should be used. Is there a rational
reason for the existence of this directory besides FHS conformance?
Yes. It's where to put non-transient service data that does not belong to a
user, and does not belong to a package.
