As was pointed out here [1], it does not matter if it's a tmpfs or
something else as long as it's writable very early during boot-up and
does not mandate persistence across reboots. I wouldn't even mention
tmpfs in the FHS as there is no need to do so.

With that cleared up, do you agree to add /run to FHS? If yes, I can
whip up a draft. Given the timeline, it's a good idea to move fast.
