Apparently there were gaps in my understanding.
I came to realization that RC_TMPDIR, which I thought to be /lib/rc/tmp,
turned out to be /run/openrc/tmp.
Thus, I can conclude /lib/rc/tmp should be safe to remove.
With that said, there are other state data such as /lib/rc/{cache,console}
that are better off under /var/lib instead. I'll be pursuing to make such
changes upstreamed.
