/run is actually a tmpfs mount, so it goes away on reboot.

 
Understood, but until reboot does it keep caching data? The Ubuntu box has
been rebooted recently as I tried to solve a sound problem but the Fedora
box has been up for 39 days. That's hardly a record. Often the machines
are up until a power outage exceeds the UPS capacity.

That depends on whether or not the specific applications police after
themselves.

A lot of things go in /run on modern desktops, such as mtp mounts from
your phone.  That's also where the utmp lives, as well as various pid files.
