I think that the important learning points today are:
1.) CentOS7 (and any other distro that uses systemd) will have /run as a tmpfs filesystem, and /var/run points to /run on CentOS7, so even if you think this disagrees with the FHS, that's the way it is for CentOS.
And fun fact: not only RHEL 7 and thus CentOS 7 does so, but too Debian 9 and Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (I have no newer test install of that distro).
And frankly speaking, I don't see any indication that this violates with the FHS and that /var/run must persist reboots.
Just the opposite, the FHS condones the CentOS arrangement.
Under /var/run it says:
"In general, the requirements for /run shall also apply to /var/run. It is valid to implement /var/run as a symlink to /run."
Indeed, there are many UNIX ties Linux had that were severed by hard work of developing systemd and friends. I guess we just have to live with that (sigh).
