And if /var is going to be a subvolume instead of several /var/lib/$foo subvolumes, we need to rethink how we set the NoCoW attribute on some locations (eg. /var/lib/mysql) because right now our tooling only does that as part of subvolume creation
So, this is a step in that direction, I'm working on it, but we're not there yet :)
Could /var/adm be moved under /usr/lib/sysimage/ as /usr/lib/sysimage/adm ?
No, with the exception of fillup-templates, /var/adm contains variable data and is not static. But this would be a pre-requirement for a move.
That would move the backups of rpmdb / postfixconfig / sysconfig , as well as the update-{scripts,messages} out of /var, too.
Why should they be moved out of /var? /usr is not writeable, /var is writeable. /var is for variable data, /usr for static. Everything you listed is variable data generated at runtime, so it's not possible to put that in /usr (since that could be read-only) and exactly for this data we have /var.
