Thanks for the first vote :-)

Unfortunately no. AFAIK the zc.recipe.filestorage path is always created
inside ``parts/``. Renaming the [data] section to [var] would create
${buildout-directory}/parts/var/ and not ${buildout-directory}/var.

But as in paster setups both sections, [data] and [logs], use the
z3c.recipe.filestorage template only for creating the directory (which
is some kind of abuse of that recipe IMHO), we should anyway switch to
something more appropriate. Just released z3c.recipe.mkdir for exactly
that purpose (couldn't find an already existing recipe for that).

Current score is 1-0 for switching to var/. I wonder what evil
side-effects that could have (beside confusing developers).

Best regards,
