Then we probably should not refer to systemd directory as 
/usr/lib/systemd, but as /lib/systemd for exactly the same reason.

Also, the usefulness of an available /run when /var is quite discutable, 
whereas its main purpose is to store pid files for backgroud processes, 
most of them using /var/lib for storing their data.
