Come on, WE CAN! Let's create a /run/tmp *now*, it wont cost us much, then later applications can slowly use it if they want. Worst case: not a lot of app uses it, and the /run/tmp tmpfs isn't used much, which isn't a problem. Best case: everyone that needs a fast space has it and switches to it, and everyone is happy.
