I think it is premature to tatify into policy an action that
has not been fully decided upon, and has not yet had all the kinks
ironed out yet.
While I understand the use cases presented for /run; I am not
yet convinced that the solutions are mature. We shoulkd first have a
working solution, and present a proposal based on the working set to
policy at that time.
Issues of concern: Do we have a consensus on a solution? is
this doable? How much impact would it have on compatibility? What is
the initial reaction to the proposal on the FHS lists?
Let us do this thing right, and not hurry it into
policy. Packages which are pushing the edge often lead policy; so
minor policy infractions do not count. (Policy is not a stick to
beat the maintainers of innovative packages with, you know)
