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

Well, up to a point, Lord Copper. We have a features process with lots
of bureaucracy and FESCo involvement and so on. What we don't have is
any clear _enforcement_ of that process; there's no workable system that
evaluates changes and requires sufficiently significant changes to be
submitted as features. It's perfectly possible, and has been done lots
of times, to simply go ahead and commit significant changes that _could_
have been 'features', not submit them as features, and happily bypass
the entire 'feature' process with all its bureaucracy. /run would
certainly not be close to being the first time this has happened.
