What's this /run directory doing on my system and where does it come from?

I guess I need to clarify this. Ubuntu actually hasn't agreed on
anything.

Scott Remnant, the maintainer of Upstart wants /run. Scott does not work
for Canonical anymore, but he's still involved Ubuntu, and Ubuntu uses
Upstart where /run needs to be created.

So, I'd like to corect my self: "Ubuntu has agreed" to "To me it appears
that they will do it".

Sorry for the confusion.
