Hi Bill,

Your patch looks fine to me.  I have no objection to /run/shm being
excluded at this time--it's still early days for /run, but I think
it's more appropriate than /dev, and we'll see if other distributors
pick it up.  It has been mentioned in the context of the FHS, but
will not be included at present, though /run and /run/lock will be.
There are other non-standard uses of /run such as /run/user by
systemd which should probably also not be included at this point,
and which likewise are not in the current FHS draft.


Regards,
Roger
