I wished people would stop placing stuff directly below /run, and
instead stick to per-subsystem subdirs, i.e /run/nfs/rpc_pipefs would
be the better place I think.

So, Fedora/RHEL/upstream go the subsystem directory part right, and
Debian got the /run thing right. I wished people could agree on
/run/nfs as a common solution now ;-)
