in this case it was agreed among all major distributions.
My question was how such agreement happens in practice. I couldn't find anything about it.
It was announced upstream, see http://lwn.net/Articles/436012/
This is Fedora and/or systemd specific only. I'm not using the one nor the other and don't consider it being upstream source of openSUSE's file system layout.
1) The email in that article clearly tells that this is a coordinated move between several distributions, among them openSUSE. This is not specific for Fedora.
2) systemd *is* upstream, and it introduced /run. When it got selected for openSUSE, /run was selected, too.
Methinks that your real crusade is that you want to avoid systemd under any circumstances. Good luck with that; I don't think you'll succeed.
Joachim I may not be an admin per se, but systemd looks like a good thing. It is indeed a new thing though, and forces the user to read new documentation to know precisely how to do things. I feel like a lot of the more technical users have a knee jerk reaction against systemd since it is new and radically different from the old init system. I think, before we get fussy over it we should make sure we familiarize ourselves with how to work with it and how it provides potentially powerful new functionality before protesting. Knowledge is half the battle, and once a person truly understands it then they can raise more pertinent points in protest concerning it. -- Roger Luedecke openSUSE Ambassador Ind.
