No, that is incorrect. /run is a deliberate design decision (and a damn good one that should always have been there IMHO) and it sticks around because it is supposed to. It's not an after-effect that just happens to be useful, it's the entire objective. Think of it in the same way you think of /dev, /proc and /sys: There are there, there are guaranteed to be there with certain behaviours, and you can't change that (neither should you want to). -- Alan McKinnnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
