Are there any objections to symlinking /var/run to /run
(unless /var/run is already a rw, persistent, and non-network-
mounted directory)?
Advantages:
* One path /var/run to all runtime state files -- no need to
attend to how early in the boot sequence the file is used
* No need to move files currently in /var/run to /run
* No need to amend FHS
