--- Comment #4 from Kay Sievers <kay at vrfy.org> ---
It is a database, yes. Not a cache.

Early boot things like systemd/udev needs to live in /etc, we have no better
place for it. This rule applies only to things like systemd/udev which
bring up the system and can't rely on /var being available, nothing else
should use /etc that way.

It's systemd's database, so it should be owned by systemd.

If you want to change it introduce a top-level /data directory or whatever
it would be named, I personally don't thinkit's worth the trouble, will not
fight for it, but would change systemd to use it if it would appear.
