I know I'm feeding a troll by replying here.... but as someone who as himself flamed Lennart Poettering over PulseAudio, systemd and his general hostility to the 'UNIX Way' I want to be sure to stand up and applaud when he is right. And /run is right.

/run leads to a simpler and more understandable system and that is the UNIX Way.

As another perennial Lennart critic who oscillates between thinking his code is really neat and thinking his code is in somewhat bad taste, strongly seconded. This was not stupid. ;}

Yeah, I don't like Lennart, either. systemd can't properly init its way out of a paper bag (At least the "ancient" SysVInit can reliably make sure your partitions are mounted properly from the fstab. systemd couldn't even do that for me.) and PA breaks sound just about everywhere it's used.

Ever notice how, whenever someone calls for him to fix PA's problems, he blames it on either ALSA, drivers, or distributions? It's that sort of passing the blame on problems with their software that makes the maintainer of glibc so unpopular.
