Oh?  What about all the people not using systemd?

Fwiw, I do not like that GnuPG automagically uses /run/users/X if it
exists, because everytime I accidentally install some package that pulls
in the systemd component that creates these directories, my gnupg setup
breaks.  Yes, it is my fault for expecting the sockets to be created in
~/.gnupg, and yes, there is gpgconf that I should ask instead, but I
still consider it very surprising that installing a seemingly unrelated
package changes GnuPGs behavior like that.
