Indeed, but there really is no suitable FHS-compliant location for files of these types, so we had no choice but to violate the standard up to now: nothing has changed in this respect. As I see things, the proposal is just to violate it in a much cleaner, co-ordinated and standardised way.
How about /var/run ??
You didn't even bother to read my mail, did you?
/var is mounted very late at boot, after fsck, and so on. We need something we can write during early boot, in fact even vom initrd. Hence /var/run is not suitable.
