As you see again, what seems reasonably done for one
is not tolerable for another one, because of the many different
real-life-situations.

But after all, as I repeat from time to time, you still have a Unix-system.
Therefore:

If your problem is to keep /opt etc. from filling up, you could easily
move the worldwritable directory to a less vital partition, and put a link 
to the new location into the old place. Problem solved.

If the cd-database is to be written by all users, in order to immediately 
allow all users to participate in newly installed music-files you have to 
bear the little risk of destroying the whole database. The method
of allowing only the 'good' changes of a file is not yet invented.
The only remedy is to backup the cd-database from time to time, so 
that in case of destruction you can repair it. This would not cause 
any additional work, if you would backup your own important files, 
what you should do anyway, even if you are the only user in 
your system.
