Oh it goes well and truely far beyond that. Some pinhead decided to move /var/run to /run without leaving a symlink or informing and updating packages. I had an unfortunate 10.04 LTS system go unbootable until I got onto the console to fix it so networking could even come up since on that machine it was depending on dhcp and a handful of other things to check in via the FHS accepted and everything but ubuntu /var/run. And this was a normal system. Whose stupid idea was *that*? The same moron who was pissing and moaning about moving all binaries into /bin or some other idiocy? I am so very glad I never bought the Linux desktop coolaide. Though I guess Windows 8 designed for mobile and tablets is getting pushed to the desktop too so precise may as well break the long standing /var/run practice of this is where pid files go without fixing any stock packages. </rant>
