Hello!

Using /var/lib/ignite guarantees that any persistent Ignite node in
development will immediately fail with a cryptic message upon start, since
/var/lib is not writable by non-privileged users.

If our point is to force user to specify workDirectory setting, then yes,
this makes total sense. However, this seems like a too large breaking
change for a maintenance release.

LTS is not targeted on software developers, rather on package writers who
usually make sure that /var/lib/ignite exists, with correct permissions,
before trying to write there. And, I would add, LTS becomes obsolete as
containerization progresses since dockerized images no longer care deeply
about FS hierarchy.

Regards,
