So you prefer to have a fragile boot code to empty /run and do you want to be consistent with what other distribution suse/debian/arch and solaris are doing?

If you want to disable tmp on tmpfs simple run "

systemctl
        mask tmp.mount"

My machine:

# df -h
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
tmpfs           3.9G  4.5M  3.9G   1% /run
tmpfs           3.9G  4.9M  3.9G   1% /tmp

10 megs of *RAM* consumed.

My /var/log/messages is 12 megabytes at the moment.

These same people feel offended by "wasted" 12 megs of *disk space*?
Please...

Yes 10 megs of *RAM* consumed by *you* on *your* machine based on *your* setup

Same folders on my fully updated always running F18 work laptop

tmpfs           1.9G 1.2M 1.9G   1% /run
tmpfs           1.9G 372K 1.9G   1% /tmp

less then 2MB of *RAM* consumed

du -hs /var/log/ --exclude=/var/log/journal
6.1M    /var/log/

And 6.1M of wasted diskspace on my SSD

And your point being?
