While previously FHS 2.3 defined /var/run as a place to store runtime information [1] it's no longer 2004 and newer specification was released which favors /run [2]. Since it was 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.
