Hi!

Yes. As default, wouldn't it be better to use `/guix/guix-var-stuff`
instead of `/var/guix/guix-var-stuff`? Also, bringing
`/run/guix-other-stuff` under `/guix/guix-other-stuff`.
/run is ephemeral: it is required to be a tmpfs on ‘modern’ system(d)s,
and to be at least emptied at boot on others. Thus nothing in it should
ever be
backed-up, snap-shot, [or] mounted-separately [more than it already is
today.]
As for

I don't think it interferes, does it? How?
I think adding yet another non-standard / subdirectory should be done
only for very good reason. /gnu has it, so would moving to /gnu/db/,
but I don't see a case for the others to be moved.
Kind regards,
