Thank you.
Hi, I understand and appreciate the intent to simplify things - and by itself, I like the idea to move things to /run - but unfortunately changing mount points locations will break existing scripts. That is certainly the case for myself at $work - we have a lot of scripts to deal with installing&upgrading images, I've tested it, and they all break due to this change. In my case it's a derivative with proprietary bits, so I understand if that is treated as less important. But would it be possible to make this change optional, please? Or maybe have a backward-compatible symlinks? -- Kind regards, Luca Boccassi
