We did have such a discussion a ways back. I'm not sure what
conversation thread you are referring to, but the "no files in /var"
standard, falls out as a subset of "we support a shared /opt/csw".
Which has been agreed on over time, and was also, so I hear,
re-validated at the recent summer conference or something.

Supporting shared /opt/csw,  means, it's okay to *use* /var, but you
have to seed the files out of /opt/csw in one way or another.
