Bug#620870: FHS update regarding this issue

[Jeff Licquia <licquia@linuxfoundation.org>]

FWIW, the LSB workgroup is working on an update to the FHS, and this 
issue is one of the primary motivations for the update.

The FHS bug linked above is where we are coordinating our work.  In 
addition, see the fhs-discuss thread here:

https://lists.linux-foundation.org/pipermail/fhs-discuss/2011-May/000061.html

Our conclusion seems to be, so far: /run shall exist for the same basic 
purpose as /var/run historically, and its contents shall not be assumed 
to be persistent.

Please comment on the FHS bug if you feel this is not sufficient or 
otherwise wrong.
