Quite. It's so obviously the right idea in hindsight: why did nobody do it ten years ago rather than endlessly thrashing about jamming it under various other top-level directories?
(new directories in / do not bite, as long as they don't propagate too much. But /run is plainly good.)

Yep, as a grizzled besandled trad sysadmin dude I can't see a real problem with a /run, though if there's a proliferation of "housekeeping" then I would like it all to get mounted under one place. Let's hope, any other similar usages fit under /run rather than their own TLD.
I say this, and I HATED the dictat that / & /usr ought not be in seperate FS's no more, where I was in the old-fart reactionary camp, believing in the right to segregate different kinds of data, to ease the admin of systems.
Fact was, I would create my own TLD's for each significant group of users, and not rely on /usr or /home, for a local machine centric view of the world.

At least for the case of / and /usr, they really aren't different kinds of data, at least on a modern distribution with a package manager. On such a modern system, there are essentially two major types of file: those under the control of a package manager, and those which are not (system and user data). The / and /usr split really doesn't make a lot of sense when you get down to the details:

You think you're joking:
nix@mutilate 125 /home/nix% ls -l /pkg/emacs/
nix@mutilate 126 /home/nix% ls -l /pkg/ncurses/
All installed via DESTDIR and symlinked into place by graft.
