Sorry

This one thing is something else I used elsewhere. It is a misstatement (Is that
word there in English?). You could link some subdirs of these dirs, of course,
but it goes to a shared partition. (My /var/local/log is linked to
somewhere in /usr/local/*.)

The point is that /var tends to grow in time, and /tmp grows during sessions.
Keep space for it.
