I agree wholehartedly.

I will even make the claim that historically, there was no guarantee
given by the 4.3BSD hier(7) reorganization which said that /var/run
should only contain pid files; in fact, if my memory serves me,
/etc/utmp was moved to /var/run/utmp as part of that reorganization.
(Still away from my mail archives (now on tape).)
