+# Migrate the package database and directories from /var/log to
+# /var/lib/pkgtools. /var/log was never a good place for this data, as it is
+# considered by many to be a directory that could be wiped to free up some
+# space. Originally the package database was in /var/adm, but the FSSTND
+# (later FHS) group decided that directory should be a symlink to /var/log,
+# and I went along with that since it was years ago and I was a n00b and didn't
+# know any better. /var/lib/pkgtools will be a better and safer location.
