Is that he only problem? I know it sounds right to have that in a
runtime directory, but for me it would also make sense to have that in a
persistent directory. Either this or any other file that suggests we
did not clean up a domain yet. I'm not sure we are currently doing it
or that it's a reason for why libDir was chosen, but it might have been.
libDir is almost certainly just a historical accident. Conceptually runDir
makes more sense since this requires no storage across reboots.
