Coming from plone buildouts, parts/ has always been a "can be zapped and will
be recreated" area for me.

One other place where this is coming from: if you make a buildout recipe, you
can return a directory you created as output of the install() method.  Upon
uninstall, buildout will clean up that directory for you.


So: using var/ instead of parts/ would make my data safer as "var/" is a
warning flag for me not to delete stuff there :-)
