Certain system configurations may require parts of the /run filesystem to not 
always be on tmpfs.  (Some situations where you have a lot of disk, but limited 
ram for instance..  using tmpfs will potentially put your system into a low 
memory state, or you might not have enough tmpfs to run the system properly.)

As part of the future work to allow for persistent storage on certain things 
that the volatiles are doing right now, /run is one of the directories that 
needs to be investigated.  Is there actually anything there that may be 
desirable to persist from one boot to the next?
