contrib/openrc: why put the pidfile in run/i2pd directory?

[fkobi]

From what I can tell the only file being put there is the pidfile.

It does not make sense to have a directory for a single file.
Is there some reason for that?

EDIT: from my testing the process does not start if pidfile is just in run/ but I would like to read an explanation still.

Our openrc scripts uses /var/run. If you use package from any package manager, tell us which system are you using.

i2pd/contrib/openrc/i2pd.openrc

Line 3 in 209eb17

pidfile="/var/run/i2pd/i2pd.pid"

Or better ask your package maintainer why he did that.

Our openrc scripts uses /var/run.

It has been deprecated with FHS 3.0 and I think it's worth it to change it to just /run.
This is not what I wanted to ask here -- for my question the path to run/ is irrelevant.

If you use package from any package manager, tell us which system are you using.

I use Gentoo's package but it ships with downstream openrc files, which I want to improve.

I did not want to ask about /path/to/run/i2pd/ but why do we have a run/i2pd directory if it's only purpose is to store a single (pid)file.
