Well, somebody with a carefully crafted configuration in /var/named/,
for example, presumably will be not very happy. I wonder why /var/www/

And /var comes into this picture how? Just curious.
And why the subdirectories in /var cannot be mountpoints for existing

with existing data would have to be mounted, like www, ftp, tftp, named,
spool/mail ....
