Why is it so hard for people to understand that var/run IS NOT PERSISTENT and was never meant to be? Do they not teach basic Unix concepts anymore?

While FHS notes that *files* should be cleared during the boot process, it does not indicate that directories should be, and that is the source of this problem.
That´s a really good point, thank you.
Packages on recent Fedora, RHEL, or CentOS releases should use tmpfiles.d to define directory structure within /var/run, but that is a unique and recent development.
Please chill out. There is no need to berate users, here.
