While previously FHS 2.3 defined /var/run as a place to store
runtime information [1] it's no longer 2004 and newer

released 10 years ago, maybe it's time we start honouring it.
On majority of Linux systems (if not all), /var/run is a symlink
to /run anyways.
Users can still pass old location via -Drunstatedir.
