I mean that stuff that needs an early writebale dir doesn't/can't use
/var/run for technical reasons already. They use /etc or hack around
for themself or even already use /run. By picking /run over /var/run
probably no package will stop using /var/run if it now can use it
without hacks.
So by making /run official there is no extra fixing of package that
don't already need fixing anyway. I think that given the number of
users with a seperate /var partition buggy packages that use /var/run
too early will have been found already.
