Yes. Some examples:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=332633
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=334245
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=334437
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=342049
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=333783
Basically, if we are going to to do the move to /run, we should have a
policy of "/var/run and /var/lock can and will be on tmpfs and init
scripts should handle this correctly" or something similar.
