All the stuff should be optional.
The reason is that growing number of use-cases where specific
subsystem or software want to print any information by the issue file.
(I mean containers, virtualization, serial line redirections/switches,
etc.)
We don't want to store generated things in /etc (read-only, state-less
machines, ...), so at least /run (usually tmpfs) seems like good choice.
