Is that backwards compatibility alias available in the stretch version
of the reference policy?

How old is the first reference policy where the /run version works?

How far in the future is the backwards compatibility alias expected to
go away?

For better or worse, the canonical, interoperable path for the system
bus socket across multiple OS distributions is
/var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket (it has been that since long before
/run was widespread). If /var/run is equivalent to /run, then it shouldn't
matter either way. If /var/run is not equivalent to /run, then the version
we should probably prefer is /var/run.
