Yup, that's how /var/run and /run is being handled these days.

It provides a consistent space to pass info from the initrd over to the
main system and has various other uses also.

If you want to ensure files are created in this folder, just drop a
config file in to /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/ in the package in question. See
man systemd-tmpfiles for more info.

Could be some packages are not fully upgraded to this concept in F17. As
a non-fedora user, I can't really comment on that specifically.
