I actually find this odd. Why mention /run overriding /usr/ (that was not mentioneed before), and not mention the other overrides?

Looking at sysctl(8) and systemd-system.conf for inspiration, I'd write something like: # CONFIGURATION DIRECTORIES AND PRECEDENCE Configuration files are read from directories in listed in SYNOPSYS in that order of precedence. Once a file of a given filename is loaded, any file of the same name in subsequent directories is ignored. All configuration files are sorted in lexicographic order, regardless of the directory they reside in. Configuration files can either be completely replaced (by having a new configuration file with the same name in a directory of higher priority) or partially replaced (by having a configuration file that is ordered later). ... or maybe also repeat the list of files like sysctl does to have it all in one place. thanks Lucas De Marchi
