I think it does need to go through the FPC.  I don’t see a benefit in splitting the Change into two if there is a strict dependency; would it make sense to have the /var change without the rest of the RpmOstree features, or vice versa?

(FWIW the schedule for going through the FPC and hitting the completion/testable deadline on Feb 24 feels a little tight, though probably still doable.  Do you know how many packages would be affected?)
