The introduction of non-persistent /run has apparently created an
issue where some RPM packages raise verification issues depending on
the umask present when a process from that package starts.  The issue
is further explained in a tracking bug here:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1553916

Can not check that bug, as it is an internal one at least i have no permission to read that.

While arguably not a showstopper for Fedora, it's certainly an
annoyance to have RPMs not verify post-installation when a packaged
service is started.  This situation's also potentially harmful
downstream to RHEL.  It means that customers who have to go through
audit processes for STIG[1] compliance will get dinged (even if
explainable) for this packaging issue.

Note that in the tracking bug above, there's a reference to a specific
example which was fixed appropriately for resource-agents:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1462802

Would packaging folks agree that it's worth fixing files not using
tmpfiles.d (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Tmpfiles.d) to do
so?
