For /run and /var/run > dirs it's ok I suppose. If you want /tmp to be a tmpfs, that is pretty easy to do through fstab (I do that here actually). I'm not sure whether we want to force that on a distribution level or not though. The directories that would be affected by having /run on tmpfs would be /var/run and /var/lock. The suggested way of doing this is to have /var/run linked to /run and /var/lock linked to /run/lock.
