Traditionally yes, but things are changing in this area, if you consider
the top-level file system of a modern Linux distribution. One reason is
that "run" is/can be blown away at reboot. This wouldn't be an entirely
useless feature for postgres: Can you tell otherwise which of the
various pid/lock/opts files you can delete if you have killed the
processes and want to eliminate any left-over state? Is postmaster.opts
a configuration file or a state file?
