No, /run is essentially /var/run but in a way that it's always 
available (it can't be on an unmounted filesystem).

I personally bind /var/run to /run, and I think we made all of
the distro-level changes necessary for that to work correctly, 
but I won't swear that I'm not carry some local customizations
on the servers around here.
