You are referencing this "document", right?

IMO /run is not the worst thing at all. But it's a major change.
Simply doing such things without thinking carefully about all possible 
impact is the wrong way.

There is a "Filesystem Hierarchy Standard" where admins, users and 
developers can read about where to find or where to put files.
Old standards may not be entirely perfect forever but they are required
keep things transparent specially for people who _have_ learned it 
already.
Reading Poettering's email "Hey there, today we have /run" is absolutely 
the opposite of a doing things straightforward and transparent.
