But that task is not only about the filesystem location of the Pacman DB. It could be useful to open a separate bugreport just for that one issue.
For what reason should the pacman DB be moved if not to enable new features like the factory reset or image based installation?
I can file separate bugs for all the items listed in https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/41863 , but I personally do not think it makes a lot of sense.
Yeah, that's what the 1st response in the bug report basically said: pacman DB location is a cosmetic detail. Also, note that systemd features like factory reset and/or atomic updates make no sense in the context of a rolling-release distro like Arch (or any distribution for that matter), so I doubt that they can be a sufficient motivation for this DB move...
